Thrilled to share: out now in @Nature (!) & just in time for US Thanksgiving, the dinosaurian history of how your turkey does the twist. Fibular reduction enabled mid-drumstick mobility, unlocking extreme knee long-axis rotation in theropods 🍗🦖🧵

Fun to see our recent work on the landing page for Research at @Yale today!

10 yrs ago (oof), a real grown-up scientist™️ (Sarah Werning) came to my first talk + made me feel like I could make it in science. I still haven't decided whether to forgive her. It's fun/weird to be back at #SICB2025 a whole decade later. Catch my talk tomorrow (Sat) @ 2:45pm.

This is the video that made me want to study biomechanics almost 20 years ago – hasn't gotten any less cool with time, and still an inspiration + example of the power of 3-D scientific animation. Created by a team led by David Bolinsky, former senior medical illustrator at Yale.
This clip shows a kinesin, a motor protein that moves molecules around the cell. It's powered by ATP and transport molecules along microtube filaments at a rate of 2000 nm/s [🎞️ “The Inner Life of the Cell”]
