🎉 Attenborough's long-beaked echidna, lost to science since 1961, has been rediscovered!
The team battled leeches, malaria, and >11,000m of climbing in the Cyclops Mountains to capture the first ever images of the species 👇

Head by the Sidlaw Room @ 12.30 #SEB2023 to hear & see some sneak previews of hominin reconstructions 👀👀
'From discovery to simulation: the challenges of musculoskeletal modelling in fossil specimens' 🦴🦵🤠☠️

Fantastic PhD contribution by Rihanna @DrummondRhianna! She gave an awesome talk at the most difficult time slot, as she was the last to present at #ESHE2022 and she did an amazingly good job! Congratulations!

Congratulations to Marie for winning the Pecka Kucha prize! It was such a fantastic talk!
Great Talk by Marie Vanhoof adding to the discussion about ulnar styloid process shape and wrist mobility in primates. Fantastic PhD thesis!

Congratulations to @ArchaeoAshleigh for such an interesting talk @ESHE_society! Very hands-on presentation on the fantastic methods used to reconstruct the soft tissue of Lucy!

OpenSim Creator 0.3.0 is now available:
github.com/ComputationalBiom…
It comes with a cool new feature: live muscle plotting (video below).
Shoutout to @JuliasShoulder and @tgeijten, who helped test parts of 0.3.0 and gave valuable feedback on it!

After some great feedback from @JuliasShoulder, OpenSim Creator's live muscle plots will also have:
- Buttons for freezing/reverting-to existing curves
- Pixel-accurate curve-tracking crosshairs
- Automatically labelled legend entries
... assuming I can get it through QA ;-)

Must read of any scientist working on ROM and joint kinematics! Amazing work by Dr. Herbst and colleagues! Fantastic way of presenting complex 3D data. 👏
How do salamanders move, and how can we visualize joint range of motion (RoM)? Excited that the final papers from my PhD are now out! We developed a method to collect and visualize joint RoM, and use it to compare salamander hindlimb in vivo and ex vivo RoM. Thread [1/n]

So excited about OpenSim Creator 0.3.0! It will make building musculoskeletal models so much easier! And the new live plotting feature looks amazing! Can't wait!
#biomechanics #OpenSimCreator
OpenSim Creator 0.3.0 will include *experimental* support for "live plotting" muscle curves. Including drawing the curves as they are computed, showing previous curves, and importing your own curves as an overlay :)
We plan to improve support as the project progresses!

@ArchaeoAshleigh this might come too late for you now, but I think this is exactly what you were looking for (given the plots can also get exported). Hope you'll be able to use it for your next project :)

After years of research, excitement, emotional crises and the best support I could have imagined, my PhD has come to an end. I can't believe it is actually over. Thanks to all of you who joined me on this journey! Hugs and kisses ❤️❤️❤️

So happy that the wonderful team managing @IntWomxnBiomech decided to host our publication as paper of the quarter!
Big thanks to all of you, working together with you was a great pleasure!
Kicking off our new ‘Paper of the Quarter’ feature is @JuliasShoulder from @MPI_EVA_Leipzig with her work on making the first musculoskeletal model of a non-human ape shoulder🦍

So happy to announce that my first PhD paper is published! We are looking at muscle biomechanics of shoulder abductors in gorillas and humans to evaluate the influence the shoulder morphology has. Read with #OA

Listen up!
Our new agenda for 2021 is out!
Together we will focus on improving employment rights, support and inclusion as well as communication.

#5 Evidence for greater arm-raising capacity in gorilla due to morphological differences was only found for supraspinatus. Our results suggest that greater lateral projection of the greater tubercle accounts for this difference, rather than gorilla specific scapular morphology.

#6 Overall, we find that summed glenohumeral abduction potential is similar between Gorilla (solid) and Homo (dashed). However, the gorilla is able to maintain high abduction moment capacity with the arm raised above horizontal, which is related to soft tissue properties.
