About 4 years ago I wrote my first piece on @caniplaythat.com for Craniofacial Acceptance Month.

I usually post it again each year as the message is still relevant. People with a facial difference are more than the harmful trope of a scary villain or sad backstory.

Gaming with a Facial Difference
Video games are a great escape from real life, but having a facial difference is something you don’t escape while gaming.

Hello science 🦋 world!
Can anybody share a reliable ethyl cinnamte-based tissue clearing method/protocol for craniofacial tissues and/or muscular tissues like heart or tongue? TIA.

(1 of 3) I explain in *Second Son" the palatal obturator that the Man in the Iron Mask (Eustache Dauger) might have worn on the trip from Exilles to Cannes in 1687. It was reported by Voltaire to have been an "iron mask" but this is grossly untrue. 17th century craniofacial medicine

A few more OPT images of craniofacial enhancers from that project that didn't make it into the final paper.

In case you are wondering: These are mouse, not alien embryos.

I notice Panthera cats have noticeable craniofacial diversity within a single region or population. Seems to be true of tyrannosaurids, too. Is there a reason why large carnivores, as a rule of thumb, might have more intra-population variation in this regard, than do herbivores such as ungulates?
