We participated in the #Anatomy Lab's Green Impact 'walk the distance to Brussels in 4 wks' challenge, and achieved at least 178% of that. Why Brussels? Guess below. Answer to follow! @SustainableUCL @UCLLifeSciences @ucl @uclbiosciences @Green_Impact_

And just before January closes, we note that @ucl Christmas 2024 switch-off, in which we took part, contributed to saving 225 tonnes of carbon and planting 3,744 trees! Let's aim for this all year round! #Sustainability @UCLLifeSciences @uclbiosciences

Exciting to get our J of Morphology email alert on articles published today and see our Alice Leavey's paper on #frogs highlighted. Fruitful collaboration with the @RoyalVetCollege and her supervisor, our @LauraBPorro. 'Anuran' = frog/toad! @AliceInEvoland @JournalofMorph

@AliceInEvoland used a new digital method to extract #muscle fibres from microCT data: contractile speed & force outputs of #frog hindlimb muscles differ between jumpers & swimmers but not between these and walkers/hoppers. #anatomy @UCLLifeSciences @UCL
