Our reanalysis of the Late Jurassic Chinese sauropod Mamenchisaurus sinocanadorum is out! Not the most complete sauropod neck out there, but among the longest, at c. 15m. @NHMdinolab

@tupandactylus did an amazing job bringing this behemoth to life!

Part 2 of our dueling papers, led by Drew Moore @ScaleIsExactly is an #OpenAccess hybrid review (=also some new data) on postcranial pneumaticity https://t.co/xhiBiHM0c7

As part of the bird lung theme issue just out in @RSocPublishing Drew Moore @ScaleIsExactly and I explore what exactly makes a bird lung in part 1 of our dueling hybrid (= there are some new data 👀) #OpenAccess review papers. https://t.co/AZLRzzOtjM

Even @Nature supports the glory of the #BirdAgenda 🤩🦅🫁 -Special thanks to our incredible photographer Ray Gilbert. Read the paper: https://t.co/ESciPD6MMI

@Kimi_Chap Aw, thank you, @Kimi_Chap 😊

[Emma R Schachner PhD @paleofox]

Extremely pleased to share our team’s latest #BirdAgenda work in @Nature - hawks and other soaring birds use their lungs to enhance their flight muscles: https://t.co/ESciPD6MMI

@jaimiAgray Yes please! :)

@DoubleBeam @NHMdinolab @tupandactylus Thanks, Cary!

@NicolasPiche @OrsDragonfly3D Many thanks for the quick reply, and the recommendation – I'll give it a look.

[Drew Moore @ScaleIsExactly]

Is it possible to segment a stack in @OrsDragonfly3D using the ray casting algorithm (RCA) of Scherf & Tilgner (2009), or a similar, edge detection-based approach?

[Drew Moore @ScaleIsExactly]

Many thanks to @NHMdinolab and @pmo2112 for constructive reviews, and to the staff in the Division of Birds @NMNH for their help along the way. Boy do I miss being a 20 minute bike ride from the most diverse collection of bird skeletons in the world... @JAnatomy

[Drew Moore @ScaleIsExactly]

Birds are the only animals alive today with air-filled sinuses in their postcranial bones. Wondering how (and, more tentatively, why) these pneumatic spaces vary serially in the necks of storks? Look no further: https://t.co/QcHIXrN2vM

Best piece of advice for everyone from @Afro_Herper:

KEEP YOUR CATS INDOORS!!!!

-Build a catio
-Leash it

What will you save?
Birds
Small mammals
Herps
Plants
Your cat

I had freedom to love science and fossils from a young age because all my other basic needs were met. How can we expect STEM diversification & retention when disparities begin so young? PI's: your Broader Impacts mean little if you aren't being an ally in your community.

@pdmannion @NHMdinolab Hear, hear!🍻 Thanks, Phil

[Drew Moore @ScaleIsExactly]

So glad to see our description of the late Middle Jurassic Chinese sauropod Klamelisaurus out on #FossilFriday, w/ @NHMdinolab, Paul Upchurch, Jim Clark & Xu Xing. Here’s hoping it’s soon possible to return to China & keep the mamenchisaurid work rolling…

A mountain of thanks to @JournalSystPal & @Tweetisaurus for their herculean editorial efforts and to @diapophysis & Jose Carballido for thoughtful reviews

Bummed to be missing #SICB2020, but @stonybrooku paleo and #SBUanatomy is there in force. If you are interested in archosaur evolutionary anatomy be sure to check out our talks and posters.

[Alan Turner @alanhturner]

Huge team effort getting this together (pun intended), great job by @ScaleIsExactly and @ARBomorph . Here is me dominating it!
