🚨 New Paper 🚨 Our team @NYITAnatomy used #microCT and #GMM to examine how changes in muscle loading affects skull development in chicks. This one is particularly special because it marks the first experimental #embryology study out of my lab 🐣 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too? And why should we care? A 🧵 on our paper on the Nobel Laureates. A teaser: the income distribution of the laureates' fathers.1/N

Osteoderms are mineralized tissue formed within the skin, here we described their diversity across the body of 3 lizards species. Well done @AnstasiiaMaliuk in collab with @AnthonyHerrel @VickaryousLab @DrScanley @cjaw_art @ArsalanMarghoub @moazenlab @uclmecheng funded by @HFSP
Our October issue is now out! anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wi… The cover article describes an exciting comparative analysis of osteoderms across the lizard body by Anastasiia Maliuk et al.: anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wi…

We palaeontologists like to use Komodo dragons as a model for understanding how meat-eating dinosaurs used their teeth to cut and tear through their prey. But how well do we know our Komodo dragon model? Find out shortly! (Photo: Charlotte Ellis/ZSL)

Does anyone have any images they've taken of the below boa species? If so, two of our Snake Specialist Group members, A/Prof Graham Reynolds and Professor Bob Henderson, would love to hear from you for their upcoming book, 'Boas of the World'!
