#svp2025 DAY 3! An amazing talk to begin the day by @formorphology.bsky.social on community gaming servers and how they help to facilitate palaeo learning. It was also great to learn how NatHist, a Path of Titans/palaeo server started to sort out water access in game! & for palaeo outreach ofc!

Day two of #svp2025 !! I am thrilled to have began the day with a talk by Luke Muscutt on the locomotion of plesiosaurs. It was especially interesting seeing the phase differences between flippers and how it affects thrust with the adorable Flip the robot, demonstrating!

Witnessed a great talk by Dr Aurore Canoville on preliminary research on sex determination in non avian dinosaurs through using the medullary bone! I’m happy to say I’ve learnt tonnes from it, especially interesting the use of a synchrotron (a particle accelerator!!) within the research! #SVP2025

Think I’m going to slowly transfer some of the ROTDs for Insta over here (probably won’t be daily but whenever I remember instead)
