Oxford had a talented group make a video about the #dinosaur tracks in Oxfordshire this summer.
Birmingham also had a talented group make a video.
I made the video for our group. It is less professional. And has wildly inappropriate music:

The release of the BBC story on this year’s dinosaur track excavation at Dewars Farm means I can finally post these team photos. Thanks so much to quarry manager Mark Stanway & all his team at Smiths Bletchington for being utterly amazing & supporting our work at the site.

A really exciting project to be involved in. Also featured on BBC breakfast this morning at approx 8:17am if anyone is interested!
Back in June we were back on the Oxfordshire “dinosaur highway”, excavating more dinosaur tracks with our teams from the Universities of Birmingham, Oxford & Liverpool John Moores. The BBC have a story out today about our work at the site:

One of the longest sets of dinosaur footprints in the world has been discovered in a limestone quary near Bicester, in Oxfordshire, England.

Dusted off the art skills (or lack thereof) for an anatomy drawing workshop as part of the British Science Festival hosted in Liverpool last week! #BSF25 @britsciassoc.bsky.social

Had a blast teaching "Animals in Motion" last week, together with my @neuroinformatics.dev colleagues.

Last week I took part in the @neuroinformatics.dev Open Software Week in London. There were great workshops on collaborative coding and deep learning methods for motion tracking. Big thanks to all the organisers, I'd love to be back next year! #niu_osw
On the "Animals in Motion" track, students are learning how to use the Python package, movement, to analyse pose tracks.

The team and I had a bit of fun with a camera to make a video for the TRACKEVOL project. @rebeccalowes.bsky.social is the only one on bsky I think...
We may make more throughout the project, because regardless of the video quality, it was fun to make!

In case anyone finds this useful, I've now added a 'shape fitter' to the #blender extensions library, allowing you to fit spheres, planes, and cylinders to vertex selections:

Do birds walk like dinosaurs?
A major research study at LJMU is seeking to establish exactly how dinosaurs walked and how that changed as they evolved into modern-day birds.

A busy few months being on the student subcommittee for #ASABSpring2025 - all worth it in the end!
Thank you to all the organizers and volunteers who made #ASABSpring2025 happen! An especial shout out to Susanne Zajitschek and @islabotting.bsky.social for all your extraordinary work. It was a truly wonderful conference! 👏🏻
Thanks also to @ljmuofficial.bsky.social for hosting us in Liverpool!
