Our paper about Megalodon body shape just came out. Our approach suggests that they were a bit more slender than previously thought. palaeo-electronica.org/conte… #UCR @UCR_ScienceNews @EeobUcr

My #biomechanics class was inspired by our guest speaker today! World-record holding #ultramarathon runner Camille Herron ( @runcamille ) discussed several topics, including bone biomechanics , endurance training, #womeninsport, and the need for more research on women athletes
