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

Short trip to London this weekend. I thought I’d moved into a temperate oceanic climate, but maybe I didn’t 🥵

Inici de campanya a Creu de Conill 20 en bona companyia @a_urciuoli, @Gamarraptor i Josep Manel Méndez! Avui, a pic i pala ⛏️

Start of the Creu de Conill 20 campaign, with some cleaning and shoveling for today!

Cap de setmana intens però molt agraït :)

[Oriol Monclús Gonzalo @euarchont]

Exploring Cambridge!

[Dr Ashleigh Wiseman @ArchaeoAshleigh]

How does muscle function vary across primate species and is it shaped by the typical loading patterns of their lower limbs?

See our new publication here: https://t.co/uiLvGVAqtE

All MSK models are open access!

1/ New study! Researchers at the ICP (@NacarinoCarmen et al.) have reconstructed the growth and life history of Ampelomeryx ginsburgi, an iconic Miocene giraffe relative from els Casots (Penedès, Spain). How did this animal live 16 million years ago? 🦒🦴 A thread ����

[Oriol Monclús Gonzalo @euarchont]

@ArchaeoAshleigh Extremely happy to be part of this project! 🦧🦍🏃

[Oriol Monclús Gonzalo @euarchont]

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

[Alessandro Urciuoli @a_urciuoli]

Finally our latest paper in the Journal of Mammalian Evolution is out!!!

Have a look at what an additional Oreopithecus partial cranium can tell us about the phylogenetic position of this enigmatic Late Miocene Italian ape.

Using 3D geometric morphometrics, researchers compared the radius of Pliobates with a wide sample of living and fossil catarrhines. The results reveal a mix of primitive and derived traits ⬇️

New paper alert!!🚨

Trabecular structure of the giant subfossil Malagasy sloth-lemurs and koala-lemurs and its relationship with locomotion🐒🐒 led by @fabalfieri_

It was great to work with all the people involved! Check it out👇🏽

[Dr Ashleigh Wiseman @ArchaeoAshleigh]

Interested in applying for a 2026 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA-PF)?

If you’re working on hominin locomotion, functional morphology or postcranial evolution—get in touch! Would be hosted @ McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, Cambridge☠️💀🦍

[Marta Pina @_martapina_]

Congrats @euarchont!! 🎉👏🏼

[Julia Arias-Martorell @JAriasMartorell]

Congratulations to Dr @euarchont as of today! It was a real pleasure to be part of the eval committee today.

Here's to you and your bright future, Oriol!🥂

[Oriol Monclús Gonzalo @euarchont]

Very grateful for these last years I spent at the @ICP_MCrusafont doing my PhD. Yesterday was great 🙂
New adventures to come 🦧🦍🦴

[Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont @ICP_MCrusafont]

1/3) Today is a big day for the ICP family! 🎓 We are attending the PhD dissertation defense of Oriol Monclús-Gonzalo.
​His research dives deep into the evolutionary past to answer a fundamental question: How did extinct primates move? 🐒🦴
