Theseus: Gameplay Mechanics and Character Design Considering Climate : Case study: Windless Woods

Something a bit different! Last year I was interviewed by Eero Höök from XAMK to help shape the design of a video game! Thoroughly enjoyed imparting my favourite #frog facts to help bring the characters in this thesis to life 🐸

Frog Fibres: What Muscle Architecture Can Tell Us About Anuran Locomotor Function Our study utilises a new, automated approach to digitally extracting muscle fibres from μCT data, allowing us to present the first digital analysis of muscle fibre architecture in frogs, including so...

@leaveylab.bsky.social: evolutionary biologist with a go-get-em attitude, I'm yet to see a task she wasn't willing to conquer. I worked w Alice on #diceCT frog legs, & now she's shining in her postdoc on chameleons! She's been busy publishing her PhD research: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

The last paper coming from my #PhD thesis has just been published in the Journal of Morphology! 🐸 We use #diceCT and @fountainscholar.bsky.social 's GoodFibes package to examine how muscle fibre architecture varies across #frogs specialising in jumping, walking and swimming:

Before I worked @ UTCT, I was the #NoCTURN postdoc! I'm still heavily involved & chair multiple groups. Here's a short video I made about our work. If you generate/use/manage tomography data, now's a great time to join! Next year our in-person meeting is at the AMNH🤩

Comparative muscle anatomy of the anuran pelvis and hindlimb in relation to locomotor mode Scientists at UCL and the Royal Veterinary College have digitally dissected the musculoskeletal anatomy of the pelvis and hindlimbs of 30 frog species using contrast-enhanced microCT scanning, formin...

I'm an #evolutionary #biologist specialising in 🐸🦎 #digital #dissection and #diceCT, with a passion for #pedagogy. I'm new here, so please point me to relevant people!

Linked below is my most recent paper. It's also my favourite, but don't tell the others I said that...
