Watch #ProcB author Zoe Self Davies talk about research that investigated whether 3-legged dogs use distinct limb sequences which could be determined as gaits, with clearly defined kinematics and kinetics: cassyni.com/events/9DLfz... #biomechanics

Locomotion on three legs: the tripedal gaits of canine amputees: doi.org/10.1098/rspb... #ProcB #biomechanics

Now I've got a minute, thought I'd do a little explainer thread of my recent paper on locomotion in canine amputees. Read on for #science #biomechanics #dogscience and most importantly, cute videos! This @royalsociety.org paper can be found here: royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article...

New paper out today in @royalsocietypublishing.org #ProcB on the tripedal gaits of canine amputees. It’s been a long time coming with initial covid delays and then 2 new jobs, glad I can finally share it: royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article...

Lovely day yesterday for a drive through the Welsh countryside to speak at @aberuni.bsky.social and have a nosey round their Veterinary Education Centre. Thank you to @sesamoidstreet.bsky.social and @peterkorsten.bsky.social for the invite ☺️

As a millennial emo, I quite like spooky season. As an anatomist, I hate it 🤣 #veterinaryanatomy #anatomy #skeleton

I have a tab open on “Performing Oral Regional Nerve Blocks for Veterinary Patients” to remind me to add some clinical relevance to my skull anatomy lecture but the tab just appears as “Performing Oral” to anyone glancing over my shoulder, I feel like I’m going to have to justify myself a lot today😂

🚨 Hiring! We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher with expertise in computational fluid dynamics and structural simulations to investigate biomechanics and mechanosensory feedback in insect flight. Extreme agility ✔️ Morphological computing ✔️ Meshes! ✔️ jobs.rvc.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx...

You know that metaphor about ducks being calm on the surface but then they’re frantically paddling below the water?… turns out the dog is mildly aggrieved on the surface and absolutely not paddling frantically below 😂 #biomechanics #veterinaryphysiotherapy #caninescience #dogs

Finally out of office ‘enjoying’ the heat in Greece (41 degrees is a bit much 🥵)

#SEBconference goers, have you found the whale and the elephant upstairs?

Thank you to the biomechanics session organisers at #SEBconference for supporting my talk on tripedal locomotion in canine amputees 🐕 Extra thank you’s to @sesamoidstreet.bsky.social and Janneke Schwaner for their support ☺️

Day 1 at #SEBconference in Antwerp. Let’s go 🤓

VetEd done ✔️ Poster on extra-curricular anatomy art presented ✔️… next up #SEBconference.

Had SO MUCH FUN making balloon model equine guts at VedEd this afternoon. My cognitive load is feeling very minimised 🧡🎈

Great first day at VetEd looking at making models for clinical skills and anatomy, followed by wine on the SS Great Britain featuring @grumpyfrog.bsky.social and @sesamoidstreet.bsky.social 🧡

Great time speaking at MMU’s Institute of Sport this week, sharing some insights into athletic performance and rehabilitation in non-human animals. Had such a fantastic time meeting their lovely team and seeing their awesome facilities. Thanks @kajdaniels.bsky.social for the invite ☺️

Needed some ‘physio-ing’ pictures to brighten up some slides and didn’t want to use dogs who haven’t given consent… Rogue is cantankerous, expensive and useless in many circumstances but the girl always does good teaching and good slides 👍

It’s conference season & marking season so spending a large proportion of my time in front of a screen. Started getting headaches & then weird motion-sickness like nausea almost constantly. Diagnosed myself with all manner of neurological disorders… turns out I’ve hit the age where I need glasses 😆🤓

One of my favourite colleagues, teaching dog Maeve, did some exciting cpd today, working towards teaching hydrotherapy as well as veterinary science. 10/10 the goodest girl.

Excited to have my abstract accepted for #SEBconference in Antwerp… who else is going?

I’d say ai nailed it with this one 😂

She’s supposed to be teaching auscultation this morning but is doing quite a bit of sleeping on the job 😆🩺😴 #vetschool #clinicalskills

Little bit of #veterinaryphysiotherapy and #caninehydrotherapy for Rogue today. Staying in shape as a #vetschool teaching dog 💪

I ran an anatomical heart art competition for Valentine’s Day with our vet students &, once again, they did not disappoint! They produced some stunning drawings, poetry, bakes, crochet, cross-stitch, digital art & even a pizza! I’ve shared a few below so you can see how talented they are!

Found a weird bit of fluff under my desk at work. #vetschool

On this Rogue scale of 1-9, how’s your day going?

Nice sunset on leaving @harperadamsuni.bsky.social HKVS this evening 🧡

Today I get to teach my absolute favourite lecture: gait! What used to be a whole term of lectures for physio students is now 1hr for vet students 😆💪 #gaitanalysis #locomotorbiomechanics #vetschool

Today’s lecture is on the eye so I’ve mildly harassed the dog with my iPhone and husband’s bike light to ensure she features 👀 #anatomy #veterinaryanatomy #neuroanatomy #vetschool

I’ve got a lecture on cranial nerves coming up… hit me up with your best mnemonics that aren’t a) the rude ones I was taught back in the day b) Harry Potter nonsense 😜 #anatomy #veterinaryanatomy #neuroanatomy #anatomyeducation

Looking for non-veterinary participants for this study. You don’t need to own a dog! Link is here: www.surveymonkey.com/r/dog-questi... Thank you for helping ☺️ #dogs #dogscience

Starting afresh from leaving that other platform. Always looking to chat about #dogs #dogscience #horses #horsescience #biomechanics #anatomy #veterinary #highereducation #vetschool

Never too early to post a pic of the dog 🤷‍♀️

Decided the New Year was the time to leave the bad place, heard good things about this one so giving it a go… now to re-find all those awesome science contacts 🤓
