Hindlimb kinematics, kinetics and muscle dynamics during sit-to-stand and sit-to-walk transitions in emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae)
Summary: The dynamics, biomechanical constraints and musculotendinous coordination strategies during the sit-to-stand/walk transitions for a large bipedal bird – the emu – inform morphology, evolution...

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.

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.

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.
