It’s me! @NHMU is a gorgeous museum, the dinosaur displays are so cool, take a look! I’ve had a great week scanning all the reptile vertebral columns 🦖🦕🐊🦆🦎 @Artec3DScanners @CentralScanLtd

[NHMU @NHMU]

On #FossilFriday, Lucy Roberts, from the University of Cambridge (@zoologymuseum), is at @NHMU to study the diversity of vertebral columns across all reptiles. In this video, she is scanning a Kosmoceratops vertebra using handheld @Artec3DScanners: https://t.co/x5R83hGowh

Check out our new review paper on using AI to study evolutionary morphology! A really wonderful job by lead authors Yichen He, @JamesMulqueeney & @Emily_C_Watt 🎉🎉🎉

[James Mulqueeney @JamesMulqueeney]

New review paper on using AI to analyse Evolutionary Morphology is officially out! Was great to part of a large collaborative team writing this.

Hey everyone, I welcome you all to take a look at my presentation in the Macroecology & Macroevolution session at #2021SVP!

Come find out how archosaur axial skeletons are regionalized, including, among many others, the one and only T. rex 🦖🦜🐊🦕💚

On this week 11 years ago, this classic bit of tv happened. Happy Friday folks.

People rarely know where I’m on about when I say I’m from Stourbridge, so from now on I’m gonna send them a link to this article 🎸 https://t.co/z5vwnMWrD9

@TAHPAO2019 @quadzilla42 @mrjamesob @PaulGoldsmith73 I’m saying that he is left wing!!!

[Dr. Lucy E. Roberts @LucyRoberts_NHM]

@quadzilla42 @mrjamesob @PaulGoldsmith73 Yeah exactly! Actually I think we’re on the same side here, this clip is him making fun of the right wing, so it’s left wing comedy. ‘Right wing comedy’ would be in support of right wing opinions.

I've had the absolute pleasure of working with the Domínguez-Domínguez lab at the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo over the last year, providing assistance with English translation to ensure as many people as possible get to read their fantastic work. 1/5

[Dr. Lucy E. Roberts @LucyRoberts_NHM]

@NHMdinolab @LukeGrinham @Artec3DScanners No worries!

[Dr. Lucy E. Roberts @LucyRoberts_NHM]

@NHMdinolab @LukeGrinham @Artec3DScanners The biggest mounted specimen I've scanned is probably Allosaurus, but only the vertebral column. I think it took about an hour, maybe less, with the spider. Individual sauropod verts about 20-30 mins with all the rearranging positions.

[Dr. Lucy E. Roberts @LucyRoberts_NHM]

@LukeGrinham @NHMdinolab @Artec3DScanners With the space spider you can get ~0.1 mm res, the Eva can get ~0.5 mm

[Dr. Lucy E. Roberts @LucyRoberts_NHM]

@LukeGrinham @NHMdinolab I've surface scanned individual sauropod verts using our lab's @Artec3DScanners Space Spider. With mounted specimens it's trickier to scan with it as its such high res, so for a mounted sauropod I think their Eva scanner would be a better option.
