My new(ish) colleague at @ucl-c4ia.bsky.social , @neelimasharma.bsky.social, was on the ScienceStuff podcast talking about synovial joints and rather impressively cracking her knuckles: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Congratulations to @osteosophia.bsky.social - now Dr Anderson - on successfully passing her viva! @eloygl.bsky.social and I very much enjoyed supervising Sophia and we're looking forward to the papers being published!

New paper out! The first from @osteosophia.bsky.social 's PhD - a new (hopefully more objective) way for categorising locomotor repertoires. With @eloygl.bsky.social @livevobiomech.bsky.social and Laura Fitton: royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article...

New paper out today with the amazing @apwoodbailey.bsky.social all about the unusual leporid intracranial joint.

This is a horrible smear campaign. @toriherridge.bsky.social is highly qualified to comment on the de-extinction debate and as someone who's published and co-supervised with her, I can confidently say you'd be hard pushed to find anyone with more academic integrity.

Why does this dwarf goat look so goofy? If you want to be the person that finds out, why not apply for this funded PhD with me at UCL, @evoswami.bsky.social at the NHM and Jesse Hennekam at Maastricht: tinyurl.com/mphf2hd9
