This was such a cool project to be a part of! I contributed scanning & rendering 3d anatomical models of some specimens, but this international team led by @gayani.bsky.social & @tdcapellini.bsky.social combined many methods to reveal how exactly humans evolved to walk upright on two legs. 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ 🧪⚒️

Say hello to Florida's newest established species, Typhlonectes natans - the Rio Cauca Caecilian! You can read about their relative abundance, distribution, & natural history, in our brand new paper: journals.ku.edu/reptilesanda... Here is one individual I CT scanned that had 7 babies inside!

This budget proposal will make your life worse. Call your elected officials and oppose it.

What can we learn about dinosaur physiology? 200 years after the 1st dino was named, new technologies yield amazing data from fossils. Physiology is vast, we hit on a few topics & gave ideas for improving hypotheses regarding how dino bodies may have worked. 🌡❤️🫁🦕🦖🧪⚒️🪶 doi.org/10.1098/rsbl...

Really important review of dinosaur physiology out today led by @stephanopteryx.bsky.social & @paleofox.bsky.social w/ Jason Bourke & ‪‪@rockjock80.bsky.social‬‬: bit.ly/43I1gxJ. Cool to see this old ankylosaur friend as Figure 1, from a collab w/ former PhD students Jason Bourke & Ruger Porter.

New #OpenAccess dinosaur physiology paper out as part of the Bio Letters theme issue on 200 years of dinosaurs! 🥳 Led by Stephanie Baumgart 🦖🦕🫁🫀🧠 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Wooo! This will officially be my first post on this app. 🥳Linked below is a new paper lead by my colleague @stephanopteryx.bsky.social ! I am so happy to share this with everyone - see post below for more details!

Researchers at MIT turned a skin cell into a neuron without having to go through that pesky intermediate stem cell step. Truly incredible. news.mit.edu/2025/mit-eng...

Looks like a really cool and beautiful game! 🧪⚒️

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.

Help our friends at the NSF: Seeking scientists based in California who are willing to attest to direct harm caused by NSF firings. If you’re in the science world, please RT this to widen the net— a lawsuit on the unjust mass firings needs these comments. (comment briefly here and I’ll follow up!)

Today, a broad coalition of scientific professional societies who represent over 92,000 scientists are speaking out against the politicization and demonization of Federally funded science and government scientist jobs. It was an honor to help the Union of Concerned Scientists with this! 🧪🌎

A really cool collection of the latest and greatest in bird lung research! Bird lungs are super weird, check it out! 🦅🫁🧪🪶

A great list of awesome women in science! And of course, let's not forget the wonderful @jaimiagray.bsky.social herself - CT extraordinaire who created this amazing tortoise anatomical atlas! 🐢 anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

This is how you make a difference. Use your knowledge and share it with your community. Thank you @edgarmcgregor.bsky.social for being a light in the world!

Hi Folks! Looks like it’s time for a reintroduction! I started my career as a scientific illustrator and visualizations person (3D, animation, etc.) at UChicago focusing on early mammals. #sciArt 1/6

Today (Dec. 1) is World AIDS Day. Spare a thought for all those who perished. 🌈🏳️‍🌈 www.instagram.com/p/DDC6vPzPj5...

I wrote (ranted) on experimental design as I was frustrated as an editor at how little guidance students were getting. I underestimated the interest in the issue: it has been downloaded 10,000+ times! Clearly it’s something we need to be talking about more. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Pinning the EcoEvo job board so I’ll no longer have a reason to revisit the blue bird website. 🚨📌 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

not sure why the extinction of this little bird in particular hits me so hard maybe because they were still whirling across the sky when I was born? regardless, I thought I'd give it a go to (badly) illustrate the slender-billed curlew as it would have been in life on the Kazakh steppe.

Excellent reference for new folks! “Starter Packs” are an efficient way to find your communities. You can also request to be added- just reach out the organizer. And… yep, you’ll probably fit on several lists! It’s wonderful 🌎🧪🌊⚒️

Oh hi, it’s me again reminding yall that we have feeds for all kinds of critters! Photography, art, science, news, & more welcome! 🦊Mammals: bsky.app/profile/did:... 🦉Birds: bsky.app/profile/did:... 🦑Marine Life: bsky.app/profile/did:... 🐍Herps: bsky.app/profile/did:...

One of my favorite CT scans I helped make for #oVertTCN: a 5-day-old loggerhead shrike ate a tiny lizard! 🪶🧪🦎 How can we tell it's a lizard? Tail vertebrae in reptiles have chevrons for muscle attachment. Mammal tail bones don't have those. CT scan available: www.morphosource.org/concern/medi...

I have said this before, but also great for newcomers is this little gem: the Birds feed. It really doesn't matter when you drop by, but add a bit of birdscrolling and your day will improve, instantly! I honestly don't even think you need to love birds... It's good for all! bsky.app/profile/did:...

Do you love talking about tomography as much as I do? I made a starter pack full of people who use CT to do their science!! Let me know if you want to join in on the tomography talk! Other 3D imaging modalities also welcome ☢️🩻👩‍🔬 go.bsky.app/VjBpAAy

This was so good, I loved it! #FossilFriday ⚒️

If youre still looking for your tribe, here’s a directory of hundreds of starter packs covering all interests and searchable by keyword. Repost and check it out.

I live for awesome fossils. I mean, just look at this beautiful 'opposite bird' skull! That story and more of the best in Science and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪

Just joined bluesky - I'll be posting microscopy images like this light sheet render of the embryonic chicken wing. Please give me a follow!

If you are looking for feeds to follow I HIGHLY recommend the Science feed. Everyone who posts to it is vetted to ensure they are actual scientists and science communicators to prevent misinformation and pseudoscience from being posted. It's a great place to learn and interact with science!

Here is a list of labs in #ecology and #evolution who are recruiting graduate students for next year: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... PIs looking to recruit can enter information here: t.co/Fn1LRAA5Ip I believe this list is thanks to @drcarl.bsky.social #evosky #ecoevo #evolbio #AcademicJobs

Black-necked stilt (Himantopus mexicanus): "Hop-and-Flap is also the basis for more intense response to ground predators; when performed in a group, results in a Popcorn Display." I love bird locomotion/display terms! 🤣 🪶🧪
