Just migrated from that platform formerly known as Twitter, so if you got a follow means I was likely following you over there.
Nice to see see you're over here as well!

Next Tuesday (6May) I'll be speaking at @palaeopercs.bsky.social about my research on bone morphology and the #3D methods I develop (or help develop)! If you want to see some 3D bones πŸ’€πŸ¦΄πŸ©», you can join (discover how in the thread πŸ‘‡)

Manuscript Figure 2: Photographs of the SD-1663 right partial os coxae in different views. A) lateral, B) medial, C) anterolateral focused on the acetabulum, and D) Zoomed in view of the eroded acetabular margin that is also crushed superomedially. The fossil preserves most of the acetabulum, part of the superior pubic ramus, part of the ischial body, and part of the iliac blade. The greater sciatic notch is fully preserved and is a narrow, J-shape.

New #OpenAccess article alert!

@paleonicole.bsky.social led this first description of a partial right #Neandertal hipbone from El SidrΓ³n, Spain that expands the range of morphological variation in Neandertals.

Pelvis neandertal El Sidrón SD-1663: rasgos similares con otros neandertales, pero también afinidades con Homo anteriores, como ER 3228 (H. erectus) ➑️ Rango mÑs amplio de variación pélvica dentro de los neandertales de lo que se conocía previamente.

This is a weird request, but anyone in Baltimore area want to help me collect tap water samples this summer? I can give you some vials, you go to a couple restaurants/grocery stores/public water fountains and we get some critical science done for forensic work

A Small but Capable Walker: New Fossil Discovery Sheds Light on Paranthropus robustus Piecing Together an Elusive Skeleton

A Paranthropus robustus fossil from Swartkrans shows it walked uprightβ€”and was tiny. Was it also a tool user? Researchers are investigating. #HumanEvolution #FossilFind #ParanthropusRobustus #Swartkrans

Yesterday we had an awesome day in UNESCO World Heritage Preda-Bergun route, in Switzerland πŸ‡¨πŸ‡­. This was thanks to the Institute of Evolutionary Medicine, UZH. Snow, sledging, unimaginable views, good company and a lot of fun! 😍 Fully recharged for the next few weeks!!

Gracias @mcotsar.bsky.social por tu compromiso y por esta oportunidad para visibilizar lo que nadie nombra el #11F. Ayer fue el dΓ­a en el que las instituciones se limitaron a compartir la foto de investigadoras, β€œcelebrando” no sabemos qué…donde cada vez hay menos espacio para la reivindicaciΓ³n.

The International Day of Women and Girls in Science is always a bittersweet one: it is time for awareness of the benefits of gender equality to advance science, but when we are promoting scientific careers... what careers are those?

An absolute pleasure to contribute to this project led by @paleonicole.bsky.social and @liabetti.bsky.social. Pubic symphysis fusion in primates is fascinating and complicated, and studying it is shedding light on the 'obstetrical dilemma'.
