Very happy that this is finally accessible 😊
Beyond the amazing 3D models that can be downloaded in several formats, @leaveylab.bsky.social added lesson plans for using them in anatomy teaching.
We also detail the protocol for AI-based segmentation that I developed during my previous postdoc.

I just saw an advert on my timeline in which a PhD student is recruiting an unpaid intern to help them with their PhD.
Is that common in your field / country? Maybe I'm biased through my own past experience as a PhD student, but the whole idea of having minions as a PhD student feels wrong to me...

#2025SVP ! If you want to get an idea of the major steps of 🐢turtle🐢 evolution, come to see my talk on Friday, Nov 14, 8:30 AM, Hall 8. My student Guilherme Hermanson talks just before me (8:15). 4 years of macroevolutionary research on turtles went into our talks, covering many unpublished results.

My advice for #2025SVP would be aimed not to students, who are excellent in our society and I am sure will do great but on senior academics. During Q&A, please resist the urge to grandstand or grill. Be polite, constructive, and supportive. That’s how we build a stronger, kinder community. #SVP2025
Many of our student attendees will be giving their first talk or poster this meeting! What advice you give them to help make it the best experience possible?
