Including these glass lizards, several distantly related ‘worm lizards’ have skin bone plates covering their bodies. We just found that these evolved independently. For the full story: https://t.co/apWnJPgWRP

[GuoHuangLab @UCSF #Open postdoc position @GuonHuang]

So proud of this incredible team and all we accomplished this year!

We’re looking for postdocs to explore evo-devo, organ regeneration, extreme physiology, non-traditional animals, and

SUPERMAN 🦸‍♂️!

Please RT.

Part of my work from my Master’s with @tegillis is now published by @CompBiochPhys! In this work, we were looking into how thyroid hormones impact the heart regeneration process in zebrafish.

What happened in this #platypus? 😕 Encapsulated, ~1cm radio-dense structures- what are they? That is the question explored in a new paper from Henrik Lauridsen @PeterRMoeller and coauthors (of whom I was lucky to be one) https://t.co/a1cxhO5mGI 1/7

[Stefanie Bradley @BioBradz]

Excited to present in Chicago for #sfn2024 🧠. I'll be presenting a scientific poster on the Functional and Neurological Outcomes following #Exoskeleton-assisted Physiotherapy for Children with #cerebralpalsy. #neurotwitter #Neurotech

Super stoked about this symposium next month at @SSAR2024! Thanks again to @ssarherps for sponsoring, my co-organizers (@danpaluh, @holy_anole, @MollyCWomack), and all of the speakers! This is going to be awesome.

@AIneurolab @RogersLabUCD I agree - a great photo and an awesome regenerating tail.

African wild dogs have the same well-developed facial muscles that generate the "puppy dog eye" expression in domestic dogs! New research by @PantheraLeigha & my team published in @AnatRecord investigating the mimetic & ear muscles of this amazing species https://t.co/rnprxHV69r

New paper out today in @iobopen. Just in time for Amy Lagorio’s talk at @anatomyorg this afternoon! We tried to capture the joys of teaching imaging approaches to a group of students and faculty during Covid. This stuff takes a village. @AnatomyMizzou

@BioBradz @HBKidsHospital Congratulations Stef! Amazing work as always!!

[The Anatomical Record @AnatRecord]

New study unveils the fascinating diversity of osteoderms in lizards! 🦎 CT scanning & nanoindentation reveal unique structures across species, shedding light on their protective role and evolutionary significance.

[Vickaryous Lab @VickaryousLab]

Strongly endorse @cjaw_art as an exceptional researcher and mentor. Plus this is a great project!

[catherine williams @cjaw_art]

Oh, and I suppose I should have said before here, that I have moved from @ZoophysiologyAU to @Husdyrforskning, where I have started a tenure track position in #Anatomy and #Pathophysiology. 5/4. Thank you to everyone who made my time there and my new position possible.

[catherine williams @cjaw_art]

We will be looking for a #PhDstudent next year. Please keep it in mind if you are interested in interdisciplinary veterinary physiology and anatomy research. 4/4. (Keel bone here in red, air sacs in blue, and lung in purple overlaid on a silhouette of a hen). 4/4

[catherine williams @cjaw_art]

🐔 have keel bones. They are often (~80% of laying birds) fractured by the end of hens' lives. I am really excited that @DFF_raad have decided to fund a project looking at how these fractures relate to the nervous and cardiorespiratory systems and tell us about birds' pain . 1/4
