Why do eagle rays and manta rays have such long, whip-like tails? 🦈Using models, our study shows that whip-tails act like kite tails, adding drag to keep rays stable as they glide! Thanks to @georgelauder @ConnorFWhite @MCZHarvard @NHM_London OA Article: https://t.co/o7uqxQiZ71

Hi! Our OA paper in @FrontCellDevBio is finally out! 🥳 Here we show how guitarfishes (durophagous batoids) process hard preys with jaws filled up with jelly cartilage. I'm sure you cannot do it with your bony jaw! @NHM_London @MasonDeanLab @BM_MPICI

🦈Thrilled to share the study published in Advanced Science I am part of! It explores how stingray cartilage skeletons, covered in thousands of mineralized tiles (tesserae), grow and adapt as they expand! ⚽️ https://t.co/5RfclNLwEj

Mineralized tiles (tesserae) armor stingray skeletal cartilage, somehow growing throughout life without disrupting the tessellation. It is discovered that tesserae size distributions remain strikin...

Our article is out in @royalsociety! We describe how the whip-tail of cownose rays acts as a hydrodynamic antenna, detecting water movements along its length! ➡️ https://t.co/wfTSgkXIoT Happy to see it in @nytimes too!➡️ https://t.co/QzoiTpKEXR Thanks to @georgelauder @MCZHarvard

@perezreverte Por similares circunstancias me veo recurrentemente en manos de personal sanitarios e igualmente no tengo más que palabras de gratitud y admiración por el cariño y profesionalidad que derrochan. … Nada que ver con el personal administrativo cuya indolencia e incompetencia asusta

Los verdaderos héroes de nuestra sociedad: los bomberos. A pesar de estar mal pagados, por cierto, arriesgan su vida por los demás. Mucho ánimo a todos ellos y que sepan que el pueblo está con ellos.

1 To predict the behaviour of a primate, would you rather base your guess on a closely related species or one with a similar brain shape? We looked at brains & behaviours of 70 species, you’ll be surprised! 🧵Thread on our new preprint with @R3RT0 , https://t.co/668msRHMNu
