MyoGeneratorRemix is a reimplementation of MyoGenerator (Herbst et al., 2022), a tool for muscle reconstruction and parameter estimation—essential for downstream analyses like FEA. Our version brings major upgrades, including full compatibility with Blender 4.5.2.

Just got word from DAAD: they’re stopping payment of my PhD admin fees—no warning, no discussion. We came with a funding promise, and now benefits are being cut while fees, rent, and living costs abroad keep rising. Disheartening.

Will the AI industry form a new Phoebus cartel? In the early 20th century, bulb makers conspired to shorten lifespans—planned obsolescence. Now, after the AI boom, generous tiers are shrinking and access is tightening. Coincidence or collusion? Pass me the tinfoil hat!

Quiz will be available in the next release 😃 The questions are dynamically created using data from the PBDB according to your request. Questions about Geological time came from the last chart by the ICS

MyoGenerator Remix V2.0 is on the way, or should I call it HornsGenerator 🤣🤣

Due to Firebase's free-tier limits, I added ads to cover potential future costs (Where is my Fossil? stores user/event/paleontologist data). I dislike ads too, so I'm exploring an ad-free version that drops private DB access but keeps PBDB, Macrostrat, iDigBio, etc. Would you pay for that?

🦕 Where is My Fossil? just updated to v1.4.0 with a powerful new feature! Thanks to @UWMacrostrat , users can now explore geological context—not just species data. Discover fossils and the rocks they came from! 🌍

🚀 Zotero Paper Search just got an update! Now you can select a species name (1–2 words) and instantly search it in Where is My Fossil? 🦴 Explore taxonomy, specimen images, and more paleontological data—right from your workflow! Download it from Github: github.com/MiguelDLM/zo...

New tool!! Paper search for Zotero: Select a text on a PDF while reading and launch a search in the different platforms' availables. Also, you can configure a custom search engine (it automatically detects DOIs, you know what I mean 😉) github.com/MiguelDLM/zo...

BFEX was updated to version 2.1! 🦴✨ A new feature now allows you to scale meshes to a target volume or size. This is especially useful when comparing FEA results across models of different dimensions (1/2)

"Americans laughing about Mexico having a wooden ship or even having a navy are the same morons who are unable to locate the USA on a map."

Where is My Fossil? V1.3.0 with new features: 1. Job/Study positions database for paleontologist or people interested in the field 2. A basic chronostrstigraphic chart based on the ICC Chart 2024/12

So... Diogenes was right, the featherless chicken is a human since it fits the definition of a human and "looks like a human"

Genetically modifying a few members of an extant species to express traits of an extinct species is not "de-extinction". Dire wolves are still extinct. They aren't coming back. Conservation is the only way to keep species alive.

How to make your dire wolf

If that is a #DireWolf, then this is a Ferrari

That skull is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Super complete and detailed. Finding something like this would be a dream come true for me. And the illustrations are wonderful as well!

BFEX was just published yesterday, and today, it received the first update: A renowned User Interface that make it much easier to use. Download BFEX 2.0 from github.com/MiguelDLM/BFEX

BFEX: Blender Finite Elements eXporter is a Blender extension (a.k.a. add-on) for building Finite Elements Models to be used on Fossils. From Blender you can easily build, visualize, export and run your FEA onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
