So cool! You can see how the chicken switches to a more columnar posture because it's Centre of mass is pulled closer to the hip!

Our work on mammalian hallucal grasping, led by Irene Montañez-Rivera during her time in the @johnnyakatura.bsky.social group, is out now in iScience. A true team effort; thanks to the whole crew for inviting me to contribute a small piece! www.cell.com/iscience/ful...

Congratulations to Thomas Cowgill, my MRes student, and @tinandemu.bsky.social , my PhD student, on both winning runner-up best presentations (graphical abstract/poster, and talk respectively) at RVC's postgraduate research day yesterday! I'm proud of them both.

Honoured to receive the Ruth Bowden Award for my PhD research on the cool biomechanics behind how birds stand up from British Federation of Women Graduates! Grateful to the committee and everyone who supported this journey. #BFWG #BritishFederationofWomenGraduates

Our Annual Symposium 2025 on interdisciplinary aspects of functional morphology was enjoyed by over 70 attendees, incl. 17 speakers, yesterday (20 February). This full-day conference delved into the fascinating and inter-disciplinary world of #anatomy. @ucllifesciences.bsky.social @ucl.ac.uk

Ever wondered how birds stand up? Our paper explores how emus use their muscles to stand up. We found that these large, flightless birds use large muscle fibre length changes, activations and forces. My 1st PhD chapter, out now in @jexpbiol.bsky.social! journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...

Find out more about JEB's new article type, Theory & Modelling, allowing scientists to publish research leveraging modelling and theory to address new biological questions, in Sheila Patek, Monica Daley, Matt McHenry & Sanjay Sane's Editorial journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...
Screen shot of the top of the first page of the Journal of Experimental Biology Editorial, JEB launches a new article type for theory and modelling studies, written by S. N. Patek, Monica A. Daley, Matthew McHenry and Sanjay Sane. The first sentence of the Editorial reads: JEB recently launched a new article type called Theory & Modelling.

Oh groovy, our paper on the hindlimb biomechanics of the Triassic dinosauriform Lagosuchus is out! A quick thread for now. We uCT-scanned most of the existing skeletal material for this important outgroup to Dinosauria. We sorted through the elements and chose the best ones to make a 3D model from.

Running performance in Australopithecus afarensis
Bates et al. present the first physics simulations of running in Australopithecus and demonstrate that maximum running speed was considerably lower than modern humans, with a restricted submaximal range available for endurance running, which suggests that key features in the human body plan evolved specifically for improved running performance.
