The secret's out – thrilled to share I’ve been selected as a member of the inaugural class of @sciam's Young American Scientists! It's been so fun to learn about the work of the other 27 awardees from around the country. scientificamerican.com/issue…

Including these glass lizards, several distantly related ‘worm lizards’ have skin bone plates covering their bodies. We just found that these evolved independently. For the full story: doi.org/10.64628/AA.4m75kv59… CT data provided by S Decker (2025, CMC 27120, OSUM R685, MorphoSource)

Part of my work from my Master’s with @tegillis is now published by @CompBiochPhys! In this work, we were looking into how thyroid hormones impact the heart regeneration process in zebrafish. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

What happened in this #platypus? 😕 Encapsulated, ~1cm radio-dense structures- what are they? That is the question explored in a new paper from Henrik Lauridsen @PeterRMoeller and coauthors (of whom I was lucky to be one) journals.plos.org/plosone/ar… 1/7
A figure from a scientific paper, showing a presevered platypus specimen, with CT, MRI and microCT imaging of hyperdense nodules within it.

New paper out today in @iobopen. Just in time for Amy Lagorio’s talk at @anatomyorg this afternoon! We tried to capture the joys of teaching imaging approaches to a group of students and faculty during Covid. This stuff takes a village. @AnatomyMizzou academic.oup.com/iob/advance…

Oh, and I suppose I should have said before here, that I have moved from @ZoophysiologyAU to @Husdyrforskning, where I have started a tenure track position in #Anatomy and #Pathophysiology. 5/4. Thank you to everyone who made my time there and my new position possible.

We will be looking for a #PhDstudent next year. Please keep it in mind if you are interested in interdisciplinary veterinary physiology and anatomy research. 4/4. (Keel bone here in red, air sacs in blue, and lung in purple overlaid on a silhouette of a hen). 4/4

🐔 have keel bones. They are often (~80% of laying birds) fractured by the end of hens' lives. I am really excited that @DFF_raad have decided to fund a project looking at how these fractures relate to the nervous and cardiorespiratory systems and tell us about birds' pain . 1/4
