Productive afternoon in @livuni-ilcams.bsky.social weekly seminar practicing sketchnoting and learning a little bit about cardiophysiology :)
Thanks to @rainbowlabuol.bsky.social for explaining his work so well and letting me share it.

We love Tiny Cat in this house! Somehow this feels like a fitting origin story :)

only the most competent avian scientists have the confidence and enthusiast to talk about "birdies". The rest of us imposters are hiding our ignorance behind technical jargon ;)

😂 @kriscran.bsky.social surely this makes you adorable and relatable?

We are hiring a POSTDOC on an NIH award to measure inertial effects of (in)active muscle. Please share and re-post widely! Please send expressions of interest to my UML email.

📑‼️ New commentary out today from Roger on the importance of experimental design and best practice for muscle mechanics experiments!

I'm quite happy with this paper - I think it's a relatively accessible read, and includes our most advanced track simulations yet. Thanks to everyone at Palaeontology for making such a nice paper.

New blog up from PhD student Betzy @betzymanners.bsky.social about her participation in a recent outreach event at @ntlmuseumsscot.bsky.social !

It’s day one back after 13 months of maternity leave. Started strong with not remembering how to make a new email. It’s going to take me a while to get back up to functional. but I want to be transparent and open for any other parents returning to work. This is hard.

This thread is joyful, highly accurate, and includes links to help you acquire your own mavelous biololgy plumage. Thank you for brining wonder to my Tuesday @rebeccarhelm.bsky.social

Had the pleasure of hosting Kelsey Stilson from @mnhn.fr here at @livevobiomech.bsky.social. We learned lots about birds and got some XROMM animations working!

Thanks to @britishcouncil.bsky.social 🇫🇷-🇬🇧Springboard, @paulineprovini.bsky.social and @kriscran.bsky.social for making this possible!

Looking for a master student to work on the microstructure of metapodials and phalanges in arboreal mammals!! Fully funded by the MNHN. Cool collab with @houssayecnrs.bsky.social ! Contact me for more info 😁

Thanks to @paulineprovini.bsky.social and Kelsey for being wonderful hosts and @britishcouncil.bsky.social for funding these visits :)

Thanks to @britishcouncil.bsky.social for funding this exchange; it's been fantastic to bring our biomechanics labs together!

YouTube video by Peter Falkingham Oxfordshire Dinosaur tracks - Falkingham Lab from Liverpool John Moores University

Oxford had a talented group make a video about the #dinosaur tracks in Oxfordshire this summer.
Birmingham also had a talented group make a video.

I made the video for our group. It is less professional. And has wildly inappropriate music:

Want to do a PhD on White Sharks using high-powered imaging to analyse form and function of their teeth and jaws?

You will work with me and the dream team @charlie-huveneers.bsky.social @meyer-sci.bsky.social @weisbeckerbblab.bsky.social & #SARDI at Flinders Uni

Yoshinobu Inada on how diving birds mitigate the forces of entering the water at high speed. Not shown here: an awesome catapult system for firing physical models at high speeds!

Danial Forouhar (from @dadriaens.bsky.social lab) had amazing 3D images of the muscluoskeletal system of seahorse tails, which opened lots of exciting questions about how these body muscles actuate tail prehension.

Estelle Klein @estelle-kl.bsky.social is studying how the digging mechanisms of moles can be understood and simplified for biomimetic applications

Peter Kappel @peterkappel.bsky.social from @poppingalab.bsky.social introduced me to the fascinatingly mobile, three-dimensional jaws of leeches with some clever imaging experiments
