Rendering fabulous CT volumes in 3D Slicer like me or Adam P. Summers has never been easier. New colormaps through the @SlicerMorph extension just dropped for both 8bit and 16bit data.

It's coming up to graduate school application season and I am just getting around to going through emails from prospective applicants. There's a lot of secret etiquette around grad applications, but one of the most important is it's good to reach out to prospective advisors. 1/2

Less than a day to start the virtual 🐢 Turtle Evolution Symposium #TES2021 organized by us at MuseoEgidioFeruglio!!! We are finalizing details... Menos de un día para comenzar el 🐢 #TES2021 virtual organizado por nósotros en el MuseoEgidioFeruglio !!! Estamos finalizando detalles

I'm spending some time at Museum of Nature looking over this gorgeous #Corythosaurus skull today! This individual died as a subadult, so its crest wasn't fully developed. #FossilFriday

Don’t think for a second that the precedents set today will apply to armed demonstrators on the left. If only there were a framework, a theory if you will, that allows us to critically analyze how the law upholds and reinforces racial oppression and whiteness 🧐

The recently announced winners and finalists of the 2021 Comedy Wildlife Photography include a visibly uncomfortable monkey, a trio of gossipy raccoons, a joyful bird reunion, gravity-defying fish and an all-powerful prairie dog. n.pr/3CCNvk5

Skimmers have unusually long lower bills to allow them to skim-feed over water surfaces while flying. Something I only realized today while sectioning? All of that underbite is keratin; the actual bone is the same length on both the upper and lower jaw! (model from Morphosource)

Berkeley folks, please spread the word! We're looking for an undergrad through the Biology Scholars Program to work on anatomical modeling! This student will work in a collaborative team with 3 other students and #TeamOMAC! Apps due by 1/10/22 to @Tseng_ZJ Museum of Vertebrate Zoology (MVZ) UC Berkeley IB

UC Berkeley IB UC Berkeley students, Of Mice and Carnivorans is recruiting through the Biology Scholars Program! Come work with us! @Tseng_ZJ Chris Law Peter Kloess are amazing!

I love finding the perfect images when designing my PowerPoint slides. Here are 12 platforms for finding FREE visuals (icons, stock photos) for your presentations, lectures, and websites! I'll let you know my favorites 👇 Academic Chatter™ #AcademicTwitter OpenAcademics #PhDchat

Trailer - Want to microCT and don't know where/how/what? For #SICB2022 Open Tech Symposium (S9), I'll discuss why open-source software 3D Slicer @SlicerMorph are great for you + students in terms: Access (anytime use), equity (for all), + cost. Talk upload to YT soon! 1/2

Very excited to share my first paper from my dissertation! Overwintering aggregations have lower metabolic rates and activity levels than solitary conspecifics in a lady beetle. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

On this #TurtleTuesday, I used a Geoemyda spengleri CT scan (UMMZ herps 227761) from MorphoSource to teach some of our PhD students how to use Mimics. Look at that huge egg (typical for geoemydids), while the turtle itself is only 10 cm carapace length 🤩🐢♥️

Just had a great PI meeting with Chris Law and @Tseng_ZJ, co-PIs for the U.S. National Science Foundation Of Mice and Carnivorans project. Lots of awesome research going on with Peter Kloess mollie t and some more fab UC Berkeley undergrads who are joining the team!

Great start to the project! @Tseng_ZJ and Peter Kloess leading the charge with 5 new undergraduate students! Biology Scholars Program #TeamOMAC

Want to work on a cool project to investigate the evolution of body shape in sea urchin relatives? Come join my team! #Echinodermata #Paleobiology #MarineBiology #Internship #LookingForDiverseResearchGroup internships.si.edu/opportunity/ex…

I've been excited to see this game Holotype come to Kickstarter since I was a playtester. It's a board game about finding and publishing dinos that's made for anyone interested in board games and/or science broadly. m.facebook.com/story.php?stor…

Check out Holotype by Brexwerx Games on Kickstarter kickstarter.com/projects/brexw… I got to playtest this game and it's a lot of fun. It's science-themed but accessible to everyone.

Hey peeps! Only one week left to get in on this Kickstarter game. They've reached their funding goal and announced all the add-ons (check them out in the Updates section). kickstarter.com/projects/brexw…
