For some reason my post from months ago is shooting back up into Bsky feeds. I ❤️ that #oVertTCN is giving a people a little twinkle of joy right now. Being part of it is one of my proudest accomplishments. Some more info (PLZ watch the video): www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/science/scie...

🚨New publication alert!🚨 A big one! It might just be my *biggest* one: doi.org/10.1093/iob/... IMPORTANT THREAD! From the moment Dave Blackburn set me loose at the Florida Museum, I had a marvelous time using diffusible iodine-based contrast-enhanced CT (diceCT) to create anatomical datasets 🧪1/6

Hey it's international bat appreciation day 🦇 Here's a rendering of a skeleton of a Daubenton's free tailed bat I scanned for #oVertTCN. This AMNH specimen was collected in the Congo in 1910! This poor girl has quite a few broken bones 😢 See if you can spot them www.morphosource.org/media/000519...

When I CT scanned this diamondback rattlesnake specimen, I found a surprise rodent inside 🐍🐁 The #oVertTCN CT data is available for download on MorphoSource here: www.morphosource.org/concern/medi...

Every year UTCT teaches NSF sponsored short courses on high-resolution X-ray CT, taught by UTCT staff (including me!). Applications for the 2025 courses are now open! See below for the biological/paleontological course info, & we also have a geological one. If you'd like to apply, send me a DM 🩻☢️🦴

Attending ToScA in New York this year? I'm teaching a 3D Slicer workshop on day 1! Places limited so if you want a spot: run, don't walk to ToScA's registration page 🏃‍♀️ If 3DSlicer isn't for you, there are sessions for other segmentation/recon software www.toscainternational.org/toscana25/wo...

Hi new followers! If you followed me for CT images, you must be into that kind of thing! Here are some more people using CT to do their science (follow them!) 💃 & if you're a Tomography devotee like me, there's still spots left in the starter pack, LMK if you want to be added. go.bsky.app/VjBpAAy

We CT scanned thousands of vertebrates from US natural history collections and made them freely available. Countless people have used the data for research (>200 pubs) and to learn anatomy/morphology. www.morphosource.org/projects/000...

New #ColorsOfSkullAnatomy model! 🐍GREEN ANACONDA🐍 Let's talk about power. Check out those impressive jaws. Then think about this: lady anacondas eat boys for breakfast. Literally. Female anacondas have been known to eat their smaller male counterparts. www.graysvertebrateanatomy.com/anacondaskull/
