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
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

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?
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
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.
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.
