- In my latest (and long overdue) blog post, I give a short account of some work that was published in the summer looking at tapir hand muscles, and their internal architecture. Hopefully interesting for biologists, conservationists, and veterinarians alike! Enjoy! #tapir #anatomy #locomotion
- big thankyou to my collaborators and colleagues for their parts in this work: Eva Corssmit (www.evacorssmit.com) Jorge Rojas-Jimenez (linkedin.com/in/jorge-rojas-jim%C3%A9nez-a7b079269/) Martha MacMillan (linkedin.com/in/martha-macmillan-084661b8/) and here's the paper: doi.org/10.1002/jmor.70051

- Today is the day! #SEBExPalaeo will be live at #SEBCONFERENCE 9h30 in Nightingale 1&2 (follow signs for Bird Rooms) Looking forward to seeing you for plenty of experimental #palaeontology #palaeobotany #3D #modelling and fun discussions!
- I smell science! Finishing proofs for a very appropriate #tapir #anatomy publication this weekend! Happy #WorldTapirDay (for yesterday) everybody! 😇

- Do you work on experimental #biology to understand past organisms and ecosystems? Could your work be applicable to organisms in the #fossil record? Perhaps the @sebiology.bsky.social Annual Meeting special session "Experimental Palaeontology" #SEB_ExPalaeo is something for you?! (1/n)
- (2/n) We are fielding abstracts in all fields of experimental palaeobiology: - #functional #morphology - #biomechanics - #taphonomy - #physiology - #palaeomimetics - #hydrodynamics - #aerodynamics - #musculoskeletal modelling - #biomineralisation - #palaeoecology 🦣🦕🐚🦂🦠🌱
- (3/n) Abstract submission until 7th March We are set up in the Animal group, but we are open to abstracts from #plant and #cell #palaeobiology! We hope to have a diverse array of submissions and speakers - and we are also seeking funding for un-funded attendees (e.g. Master's students)
- (4/n) We hope to see a plethora of palaeo at the annual meeting in #Antwerp this summer (July 8th-11th) Questions? Contact any of the #ExPalaeo team: @narimanechatar.bsky.social @peterfalkingham.com @sesamoidstreet.bsky.social @palaeotheoryum.bsky.social or the SEB @sebiology.bsky.social
- Two great scientists working on #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience! #PhD student Eleesha Annear and #Masters student Ilke Boutsen @UAFunMorph working on measuring #ungulate necks at the @africamuseumbe - exciting project results coming soon! #ExPalaeo
- Something is coming (back) this summer... in Antwerp... in July... 🇧🇪🦣🦕🌿🦠 More details to follow soon! @narimanechatar.bsky.social @peterfalkingham.com @sesamoidstreet.bsky.social @sebiology.bsky.social

- Finally got round to writing a short blog-post about my recent book chapter "The Fossil Record of Tapirs" in "Tapirs of the World" by Springer Publishing. This chapter is a collaboration with Luke Holbrook and artwork by Eva Corssmit. We hope you enjoy! palaeotheoryum.wordpress.com/2025/01/26/t...
- These tapirs are fully booked Well this one took a while! With the end of term, new contracts, and general Christmas madness, I finally got my latest book chapter over the line. This time, I collaborated with world expert on early tapirs Prof. Luke Holbrook on a book chapter in the latest in the…
