Giraffes’ long neck and legs help them feed from the higher tree canopies - but does being tall help or hinder their locomotion? @JohnRHutchinson and I have some answers! https://t.co/6t6vVlLgQM Thread:

@IBM3081D @st_vincent Aw that was such a sweet moment this evening!

Hello #anatomy Twitter, does anyone happen to have a CT series of the dog forelimb and hindlimb? #VetEducation #VetEd

@peterfalkingham If I applied can I visit and get a free lunch?

[Chris Basu @DrChrisBasu]

@MBerthaume and wtf is a smart bag?!

[Chris Basu @DrChrisBasu]

@MBerthaume I have done before.. for research. It's the personal motorised vehicle I'd be worried about!

[Peter Falkingham @peterfalkingham]

Three! #Palaeo (#Paleo?) or biomechanics positions with me to help look at #dinosaur tracks and locomotor mechanics. All ~5 year positions. Thread for your re-X-ing or whatever we're calling retweeting these days 1/4

@alexevans91 Rent free in my head!

Checking spelling of 'a priori' on an email, realised I never say this in real life, changed to 'prior'. Becoming more human every day. Also - wtf happened to Twitter?

[Chris Basu @DrChrisBasu]

@JohnRHutchinson Sorry to hear that John - wishing you a speedy recovery!

UK based bands have faced all sorts of issues with European tour dates - Now artists from the EU are being hit with complex and unfathomable rules that are seeing them turned back - cancelling shows and incurring costs

@J_Exp_Biol @Miss_BreitSide @dillon_chung @LN_lesser @c_malinka @V_Marasco Woops - managed to miss this. Thank you Kathryn! It's been lots of fun writing for OutsideJEB, and you've been amazing throughout. Hope to see you in the summer at SEB!

@AlanaCSharp It totally counts if you download the pdf!

@SchulzScience_ @JohnRHutchinson Thanks Andrew! And congrats too on your zoo collaboration paper. None of my research to date would be possible without building / maintaining relationships with zoological institutions!
