I suppose I should be posting a reintroduction to the Bluesky community after years on Twitter - I’m Brian Beatty, a comparative anatomist / vertebrate paleontologist with a love of marine mammals, especially Desmostylia Sirenia and Cetacea - but also a fan of histology and surface metrology

Best meme from my students today #histology4thewin #researchpriorities

Had a great time CT scanning isolated coronaries tonight with colleagues and students in interventional cardiology / these were also scanned with microCT and all scans will be done again after some “interventions” (stay tuned…)
