We're moved in! Three work stations are in place with lots of shelving for tools, products in prep, and our growing 3D printer farm.

Been a while since we last posted but that's because we've been busy moving... to Portland, Oregon! Here's a first peek at our new space in the Central Eastside neighborhood. To everyone who has supported us- thank you for getting us to this exciting next step in our growth as a small business!

Welcome to Portland, SICB! See you in the exhibitor hall! #sicb2026

A reminder for anyone interested in chatting about science and entrepreneurship at #SICB2026 - we've extended the deadline to December 29! forms.gle/e2p5Lr1fuwJa...

Interested in starting your own science-related business? Spinning off an idea from your lab into a product? Apply to chat one-on-one with Dr. Aaron Olsen, founder of 3D Anatomy Studios, at #SICB2026 in Portland, OR: forms.gle/e2p5Lr1fuwJa...! Limited spots available- apply by Dec 14, 2025!

Attending the virtual #ICVM2025 conference? Check out our lightning talk on the imaging and articulation techniques we used to make our physical model of a dogfish skull and how physical models give new insights in research & education. icvm.econference.io/public/3JC8E... (registration req to view)

Paper alert 🚨 Our 1rst paper with @vivienl.bsky.social and colleagues is out in Functional Ecology! In this paper, we investigated how complete metamorphosis promotes morphological and functional diversity in Caudata.Want to know more? Read this👇 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Earlier this month our founder, Aaron Olsen, ran a workshop on active learning and gave a seminar on his career trajectory at @wkuhilltoppers.bsky.social in Bowling Green, KY. Thank you to the WKU Department of Biology for the invitation and to all the awesome students for participating! (1/2)

Hey Bluesky! @sicb.bsky.social 's Divisions of Comparative Biomechanics and Vertebrate Morphology are here! We're here to share any position opportunities and keep you updated on DCB and DVM activities. Give us a follow and feel free to send any postings our way.

Our US-based small business wouldn't exist if it weren't for US government funding of science. Thanks to govt funding as graduate students & researchers, we gained skills that put us at the forefront of product innovation in our field. (1/3) #standupforscience2025 @standupforscience.bsky.social

Join us! Science Homecoming helps scientists reconnect with communities by writing about the importance of science funding in their hometown newspapers. We’ve mapped every small newspaper in the U.S. and provide resources to get you started. Help science get back home 🧪🔬🧬 🏠 sciencehomecoming.com

Confused about shark cranial nerve foramina? Check out our new annotated #Sketchfab model of a spiny #dogfish #shark chondrocranium (braincase) with labels for all 10 cranial nerve foramina! 3danatomystudios.com/models/dogfi... #anatomy #blender3d #education

Microscopy Nodes is now up on bioRxiv! 🚀 This is a Blender extension that seamlessly integrates and visualizes 3D microscopy data (TIF & @zarr.dev). High-quality volume rendering for anyone, in both EM and fluorescence, regardless of computational expertise! 🔬 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Our free digital model of the dogfish chondrocranium and jaws now has annotations! Check it out at: 3danatomystudios.com/models/dogfi... #dogfish #sharks #jaws #anatomy #blender3d #education #sketchfab

SICB 2025 in Atlanta last month was a success! More than 70 people stopped by to check out our shark skull kit, to give input on the prototype of our next product, or just to say 'hi'! Thank you to everyone who stopped by and can't wait to see you all again in Portland next year! #SICB2025

On shark science, and getting significant crossover with Pride, check out MISS. Minorities In Shark Science was founded by four Black women, just hit its fourth anniversary, and don't back down about supporting gender minorities. Check out the PBS video! 1/2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKIB...

Friends, please check out Minorities in Shark Science, a new group dedicated to improving diversity and inclusion in my field https://youtu.be/8IlrenWQj3s I just donated to support their inaugural workshop, and I'd like you to donate as well. https://www.misselasmo.org/donate.html

Are you interested in learning about how engineering and physics can be applied to study the motions of #plants, #invertebrates, and #animals? Here's a non-exhaustive list of Comparative Biomechanists to get started! 🦋 🐟 🦎 🌿 🧪 go.bsky.app/HvHFgvB Apologies for any that I may have been missed.

Need a holiday gift that supports a good cause? Then check out the @sicbjournals.bsky.social Fine Art America page, where I donated some designs. All of the proceeds go to supporting student travel to SICB conference. My other art I post on here is also for sale!🐟🐡 fineartamerica.com/featured/wei...

We'll be at the SICB conference this January in Atlanta, GA! Visit our booth to see a prototype of our *next product*, test how fast you can assemble a magnetic shark skull, or just stop by to say 'Hi'! #SICB2025

Fully assembled shark skull model showing some of the many structures packed into the head. Blue: Braincase Green: 1st arch Purple: 2nd arch Rubber bands: Jaw muscles Pipe cleaners: Cranial nerves Red: Scleral ring (Eye) Paper: Gill arches #sharks #anatomy #jaws #education #vertebrate #science

Dogfish shark chondrocranium and splanchnocranium come together with a satisfying *Click*! #sharks #anatomy #jaws #education #vertebrate #science

New paper! For all of you working with 3d scans (e.g. micro-CT, MRI), check out SPROUT, a rapid open-source tool for generating segmented and parcellated data, meaning your scans are separated into the individual elements without any manual labelling or training. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Shark jaws don't just open and close. Dogfish sharks can protrude and retrude their upper and lower jaws (green) and use their "hyoid arch" (purple) to expand their throat and generate suction. #sharks #anatomy #jaws #education #design #vertebrate #science
