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!

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.

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

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.

First time!
SICB2024 abstracts: simulating musculoskeletal biomechanics of how emus stand up, how gators high walk, and how kangaroos hop.
Wish I could actually be there, but I have $0 for it.
