Hello to all my new followers! I'm Oliver and a scientific illustrator and palaeobiologist. I study the anatomy and locomotion of (mostly extinct) reptiles and draw and paint dead things for a living. Expect #PaleoArt/#SciArt, #Science and the occasional #Fossil!
We're exicted to welcome Dr Grégoire Boulinguez-Ambroise to the STEPS team at Cambridge today!
Grégoire will be joining us for three years as a PDRA in evolutionary biomechanics 🦴🐒🦍https://t.co/uvEw1iggHQ
How does muscle function vary across primate species and is it shaped by the typical loading patterns of their lower limbs?

All MSK models are open access!

Landed in Cambridge!
Tomorrow I begin a new role as Research Associate at the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research @UCamArchaeology
Over the next three years, I’ll be working on the evolution of human bipedalism as part of the STEPS project, led by @ArchaeoAshleigh
We are deeply saddened by the death of Professor Alan Wilson FRS
A member of the RVC community for more than 30 years, Alan's work transformed our understanding of locomotion in animals & humans. Our thoughts are with Alan’s family, friends and colleagues at this difficult time
I've released version 1.2 of my SDF simulations! This update further improves the runtimes:
- Simple collision checking between two meshes run at >150 FPS
- Full 6DOF ROM simulations optimising the translations for each rotation run at >5.6 FPS
- Ligament paths run at >5.1 FPS

Version 1.1 of my SDF simulations are out! This update significantly improves the runtime of all simulations while making the installation a lot easier!
ROM simulations used to take days, now they only take a few hours and include physiological accurate soft tissue constraints!
