Best of luck with your defense @jmhuiee ! We have a feeling it’s going to go exceptionally. 👏👏 & For anyone who missed out : SegmentGeometry: A Tool for Measuring Second Moment of Area in #3D Slicer Jonathan M Huie, Adam P Summers, Sandy M Kawano doi.org/10.1093/iob/obac009
Fig. 2(A) A bone in a cantilevered loading regime, with a cross-section taken at mid-shaft to show the orientation of the loading and neutral axes. (B) Examples of measurements taken from the cross-sectional geometries include the CSA - cross-sectional area of the shaded region, C - centroid, R - distance to the furthest point from the minor axis, D - maximum Feret diameter. (C) Different cross-sectional shapes ranked from lowest to highest second moment of area. (D) Different cross-sectional shapes ranked from lowest to highest second moment of area when force is applied along the dorsoventral axis. (E) Example cross-sections found in nature (not to scale) - 1. Frog femur, 2. Gharial lower jaw, 3. Catfish pectoral spine, 4. Sea otter radius, 5. Chameleon humerus, 6. Bird femur, 7. Horn shark lower jaw, 8. Bat humerus, 9. Chipmunk humerus, 10. Gar fish body cavity, 11. Salamander humerus.

CORAL POSTDOC ASSOCIATE OPPORTUNITY: Enhanced Coral Restoration using Heat-tolerant Corals (United Arab Emirates) timeshighereducation.com/uni… The Burt Lab at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) invites applications for a Post-doctoral Researcher to spearhead research on coral reef restoration. Using corals that have been identified as having uniquely high thermal tolerance from prior research, the candidate will focus on enhancing coral survival, growth and condition (health). The candidate will lead lab and field based restoration efforts, focusing on corals that have been identified by other team members as having unique thermal tolerance through stress assays or which have been developed from selective breeding programs, as well as ‘control’ corals. Th position will involve working on fragments and on sexually-produced larvae/spat, and conducting experiments to determine optimal conditions for survival/performance in lab (short- to mid-term) and field (mid- to long-term) settings. Closing date 15th March 2025 #coralreefs #postdoc #coralpostdoc #coralbleaching #coralhealth #uae #coralrestoration #reefrestoration #coralreefecology #marinebiology

1/2) Dear followers and #SundayFishSketch community. As of now I will only be posting on Instagram and Bluesky Social. It has been a pleasure growing such a lovely community and I hope we can continue it on other platforms. You can find me via the same name on either. #sciart
