The @NoCTURNetwork is working to compile a comprehensive list of CT scanning labs in academic institutions around the world. If you work at, or know of, a lab that you think should be included in this list, please fill out this form! forms.gle/hwXcoJGLsjDuBq1u8
Another long-gestating project is out now! I scanned these specimens for @BlumStan9680 during my Postdoc @calacademy! Stan and @FishGuyKai led this paper describing a new Deepwater Species of Butterflyfish from Mozambique. doi.org/10.1643/i2025038
What started out my DDIG project 14 years ago grew into an interdisciplinary reassessment of Madagascar's oldest fossil lizard, out today! We used new information from CT scans to show that Konkasaurus mahalana is a gerrhosaur. doi.org/10.1093/zoolinnean/z…

Happy Easter Monday! Just a reminder to squeeze peeps before biting into them to check that they have been fully marshmallified, otherwise they can be a bit crunchy.
Disappointed to see the Broadley’s flat lizard go out in the first round of #2024MMM , transported not only across the continent, but up into an arboreal environment. Drop that gaudy monkey off at the Augrabies falls and we’d see what’s up!

Research Tech position available in our lab @Princeton! 🚨 Come work with us and develop new skill sets on morphometrics, CT data, and squamate evolution.
Great opportunity for college/MSc graduates to gain pre-doctoral reserach experience. Please RT: social.icims.com/viewjob/pt1…
7 years of #overtTCN digitization efforts has produced > 25K datasets from >13K vertebrate specimens. It's been an incredible experience with amazing collaborators. While the project is oVer(t), it's just the beginning of an amazing shift in accessibility of musuem collections.
Delighted to receive my @BizarreBeasts spiny mouse pins. I really love the video they made that talked about the tail osteoderms in these rodents, and am tickled that the armored, Eocene hedgehog thing, Pholidocercus, gets a shout out too!

A tale of discovery about a tail of deglovery! The good folk over @BizarreBeasts have just released an excellent new video about spiny mice and their armored tails! I’ll wear my Acomys pin with pride! youtu.be/xKI9yIqyFWs?si=c2Gh…
Delighted to be a part of this fun collaboration with the @floridaMuseum's Jason Bourque and Richard Hulbert, using #microCT to identify the latest occurrence of the aquatic salamander family, Batrachosauroides, in the Eastern US. doi.org/10.58782/flmnh.tzqg4…
Happy Halloween! Here’s Dave and I getting in the mood for @jaimiAgray’s monster mash lecture @UFVetMed this afternoon!
Hot off the presses, a new paper that applies Geometric Morphometrics to CT scanned cacao flowers to identify potential pollinators. This was a really fun project led by Katie Wolcott, & one of the first studies to use of the new @UFRSC Versa 620 CT. bsapubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.…

It's officially #spookyseason 😱
A toad & salamander were the last meal for an eastern hognose snake in this CT image from the #NSFfunded project oVert, which is scanning 20,000 vertebrate specimens from the @FloridaMuseum.
