I love working at the @mfnberlin.bsky.social on Mondays, but also all the week. That is why this post is so sad: today was my last day at the MfN. From September I will pursue my dreams in another (impressive!) museum. But these 11 years, the MfN and it's people will stay forever with me. Thanks🦕
Sé que están todas las miradas en las llamas, pero quería compartiros lo que llevo preparando semanas y que me hace mucha ilusión. Próximo #JustSciencing con invitados de lujo para aprender sobre el eclipse solar. Nos vemos el lunes <3
Had a great time presenting my final PhD chapter yesterday at SEB 2026 in Florence @sebiology.bsky.social Did you miss it, or just want to discuss dinosaur or emu locomotion? Come find me at the conference!

Holi. He subido un vídeo a todas mis redes sobre mi recientemente diagnosticada endometriosis, con muchos datos científicos por si os puede ayudar. En el próximo post os dejo los enlaces y os agradezco enormemente si compartís con personas que puedan sufrir esta enfermedad. 🫶✨
If you've ever wondered what the inside of a crocodile's skull looks like, wonder no more! Here are 43 of them in our new paper led by @palaeoburke.bsky.social in which we evaluate endocranial anatomy across extant + fossil crocodylians 🐊: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... @es-ucl.bsky.social
Computed tomography reveals the endocranial anatomy of Crocodylia: Implications for phylogenetic relationships and ecomorphological convergence across Crocodylomorpha
The evaluation of the endocranial anatomy of 43 crocodylian species reveals several differences, including variation in the curvature of the encephalic endocast, the size of the endosseous labyrinth ...

🚀 Great experience at the #AirbusSpaceTour with CERFA-North 🍏 ! No photos allowed, but we saw real spacecraft modules and learned about missions like Orion & Artemis 🛰️🌍 Amazing to stand face-to-face with technology that has been to space! ✨ #CERFA #SpaceLovers
Si queréis algo guay mientras hacéis tareas de casa, gym o un paseo, ayer subí a Spoti el #JustSciencing con Dani sobre la nueva especie de dinosaurios: Spinosaurus mirabilis. Está con vídeo, pero mucha parte de esa charla se disfruta en modo radio 🤙 open.spotify.com/episode/5kpR...

I never know what to do with frills. Precisely because they're such obvious 'billboards'.
Natee (they/them)@himmapaan.bsky.social · 2mo agoIt's almost too hot to paint. Everything dries too quickly. Especially if, like me, you work at a small scale and with very fine brushes. Tomorrow will be even hotter, so I expect many instances of the paint drying on the brush before it has reached the paper.
📌 Last week, Verónica Díez Díaz @daniajinn.bsky.social visited our labs to collaborate on fossil digitization and 3D modelling. We also visited the USC Natural History Museum. A very productive week with great advances in virtual paleontology! 👏🏻 #FossilFriday #Paleontology #Researchvisit

Important new paper! A fragmentary but super early fossil cetacean: introdocing Kalakocetus from the early Eocene of India. It's got molars that are intermediate between the herbivorous raoellids (cetacean sister taxa) and the carnivorous early whales like Pakicetus. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
