One More Sleep!!!!

Attention musculoskeletal scientists! Only one week to go before the 8th annual student-organized UMOVE research symposium. An exciting day of muscle and movement science in animals including humans across molecular to organism scales @UMassLowell @KCSciences_UML

We are deeply saddened by the death of Professor Alan Wilson FRS A member of the RVC community for more than 30 years, Alan's work transformed our understanding of locomotion in animals & humans. Our thoughts are with Alan’s family, friends and colleagues at this difficult time

People elsewhere: The whole conference will be broadcast on Zoom. The link opens at 9:00 A.M.: uml.zoom.us/j/97828376506

This event, with food, and parking is FREE! Walk-up registration is fine but organizers would appreciate an email if you will be attending.

In our latest paper we found that tooth development shaped the evolution of voles for millions of years, leading to highly complex molars. How can we tell? What does it teach us about evolution? A thread 🧵👇 (1/20) #evodevo #ToothyTuesday 📷 Hanna Knutsson / Lafuma et al.

Please join us in welcoming Anthony Herrel as the new President of the ISVM🎉 Anthony is a CNRS researcher at MNHN (Paris) and leads the FunEvol team. Many thanks to outgoing President John Hutchinson for his leadership 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. #ISVM

@ScienceAdvances @PNASNews @MaryBerenbaum Apparently not: Dear editors, your publication delays are damaging our careers nature.com/articles/d4158…

Am I alone in being put off by monster-long editorial "desk" rejection times at @ScienceAdvances (@HoldenThorpe [51 days]) and @PNASnews (@MaryBerenbaum [61 days]). #DoBetter

Happy birthday Sir David Attenborough 99 years young today! #SirDavidAttenborough #naturalist #EverythingDinosaur

Not on this platform much, so great to see Sarah's congratulations! She plans to continue as PostBac this summer! @UML_Biology @HonorsUML

@MikeMihalitsis @pnas Wow. What a power paper train you are on Mike. Congrats. Can't wait to read it!

Super excited that our new paper is out today in @pnas. Title: Lateral jaw motion in fish expands the functional repertoire of vertebrates and underpins the success of a dominant herbivore lineage. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

I only played a very small role in this @PNASNews article by @AbbyGraceDrake, @JLosos, et al., but it's cool, so please check it out! "Copy-cat evolution: Divergence and convergence within and between cat and dog breeds." doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…
