Thank you @chesterscibar.bsky.social for hosting such a fun evening! I loved all the questions and audience participation, and left with so many new ideas :)

Chester SciBar@chesterscibar.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Not only a fascinating talk, but a brilliant example of interdisciplinary collaboration. Who knew the humble pufferfish could bring so many people together!? 🐡 Stretchy skin, porcelain hard spines that rotate upwards & expanding upto 3x their original size. But how? Thank you @arielcamp.bsky.social

For those working on #tracks / #footprints / #ichnology, I've made a neat little addon for #blender that aligns a mesh to the horizontal at z=0 based on a few points. Open and up on github: github.com/pfalkingham/...

Our PhD opportunity is still open. A match-funded project with @chesterzoo.bsky.social, where the student will also be a Conservation Scholar. An exciting interdisciplinary project that can be tailored to the student. Even the pigeons are interested in our LiDAR scanner!

Charlotte Brassey@cbrassey.bsky.social · 5mo ago

We’re interested in folks applying from all manner of disciplinary backgrounds. Biology, zoology of course. But also computer science, remote sensing, architecture. If you’re keen to work with LiDAR and point clouds, we’d like to hear from you!

Come learn about how pufferfish puff into such adorable angry balls...in a bar! Join us tonight at @chesterscibar.bsky.social :)

Chester SciBar@chesterscibar.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Ever seen an x-ray of a pufferfish? Well you have now! Join us with @arielcamp.bsky.social on Tues when we'll use x-rays, animations & digital models to learn how, despite having skin as soft as lycra and spines as hard as porcelain, the pufferfish can repeatedly inflate & deflate fb.me/e/91BFyRDr9

Really enjoyed this seminar from @drrostireadioff.bsky.social in our Musculoskeletal Biomechanics MSc @msc-mubm.bsky.social. She's doing such cool work linkingbiology and engineering...left with lots of new ideas! Thanks @acsharp.bsky.social for hosting, and Rosti for letting me share this :)
