Weisbecker B&B Lab @weisbeckerbblab.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Proud teaching academic today: A prac I took over had used photo prints of bird bones where physical specimens were missing. Thanks to MorphoSources' iframes, it took less than 20 minutes to embed 3D versions of most of those super rare bones into CANVAS 🙌 🎉 020
Weisbecker B&B Lab @weisbeckerbblab.bsky.social · 09/08/2026I love media interest in science I helped with (doi.org/10.1093/zool...), but how to react to false suggestions that we challenged Darwin's theory (by implication, of evolution - obvs the only theory that explains biological diversity)? 🤬 not funny. @evoneuro.bsky.social @evolsara.bsky.social 151
Weisbecker B&B Lab @weisbeckerbblab.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Nocturnal and not that silly? New paper headed by @evolsara.bsky.social with @evoneuro.bsky.social , @aub-birdy.bsky.social and many others about the dodo's sensory world! See links to Sara's YouTube video and our The Conversation article below 👇. doi.org/10.1093/zool... 1177
Weisbecker B&B Lab @weisbeckerbblab.bsky.social · 29/07/2026A bilby and hopping mouse (Notomys) drawing from an unknown student on the back of a survey paper I hand out during the first 3rd year physiology class 😍. A lovely start to the semester! 040
Weisbecker B&B Lab @weisbeckerbblab.bsky.social · 22/07/2026I'm so bowled over by an amazing vote of PhD student confidence in my supervision! Thanks for the chocolate and swearwords @aub-birdy.bsky.social and @maddicrandall.bsky.social 🥰! 030
Weisbecker B&B Lab @weisbeckerbblab.bsky.social · 15/05/2026@theskullywaglab.bsky.social 's Rex Mitchell has totally outdone himself with a paper explaining how (akinetic) skulls evolve with bite stresses. The genius sub-surface stress distribution visualisations need to be seen to be believed so here are a couple. doi.org/10.1111%2F17... 092
Weisbecker B&B Lab @weisbeckerbblab.bsky.social · 12/06/2025Oh like the Ninja Turtle in Go Extinct! Megafauna! I will ruthlessly exploit the opportunity to plug that this and 29 other drawings of Australian (mega)fauna is freely available CC-BY-SA on Wikimedia Commons, link is on: epicaustralia.org.au/resource/goe... @wikimediafoundation.org 030
Weisbecker B&B Lab @weisbeckerbblab.bsky.social · 11/06/2025The result of three years’ worth of travel through Australia’s museum collections and three Universities, and heaps of help from the MorphoSource and oVert Teams @jaimiagray.bsky.social : 031
Weisbecker B&B Lab @weisbeckerbblab.bsky.social · 31/05/2025Yesterday I taught 110 2nd year biology students how anyone can keep tabs on any biodiversity, anywhere in Oz, using the Atlas of Living Australia's incredible Spatial Analysis portal. 000
Weisbecker B&B Lab @weisbeckerbblab.bsky.social · 29/05/2025Loving my 2nd year marine prac - reminds me that oceans are full of creepy aliens with slimy tentacles and multi-fanged jaws 000
