Happy to present the latest work from my PhD as an advance article in @journal-evo.bsky.social today! David Evans and I present an analysis of feeding mechanics in an ontogenetic series of the hadrosaurid Corythosaurus, the first of its kind in dinosaurs. A thread [1/12] doi.org/10.1093/evol...

Ontogenetic changes in the cranial biomechanics of a crested hadrosaurid dinosaur

Abstract. Mesozoic ecosystems differed from the present in the abundance of large-bodied herbivores that grew through several feeding envelopes, raising th

I’m so excited to have started conducting my research at the Dr. David Evans lab in @romtoronto.bsky.social this week! Looking forward to lots of new discoveries and having a great time here!

New research reveals first comprehensive hypothesis of soft-tissue anatomy in ceratopsid dinosaurs. Reconstruction of Triceratops’ nasal nerves, glands & respiratory turbinates suggests unique innervation and head-cooling adaptations. Tada et al.: anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Thrilled to share that our new #OA paper is out in @anatrecord.bsky.social! You like horned dinosaurs including famous Triceratops? we provide the the first comprehensive hypothesis on their soft‐tissue anatomy, based on detailed comparisons with living reptiles! doi.org/10.1002/ar.7...

Manuscript accepted🦖🦕

Hi #2025SVP! I’ll be presenting on the crania of the enigmatic Cretaceous marine turtle from Japan, Mesodermochelys, at B302 in tomorrow’s poster session! Looking forward to seeing you there🐢

We have a new paper out! Turtle ancestors evolved a shell—but what else? We found that an unique rostral vasculature was also obtained gradually along the lineage, and that one of the earliest turtles Proganochelys likely retained a mostly ancestral state!🐢 sjpp.springeropen.com/articles/10....

MS accepted!🐢

Successfully submitted an abstract on a marine turtle from Cretaceous Japan to #2025SVP! See you all in Birmingham🇬🇧

So delighted to announce this #FossilFriday that I am joining the University of Tokyo as a project assistant professor in the University Museum! Looking forward to lots of new things here🤩

I've finally submitted a manuscript on my postdoc project to a journal! 🦖🦕

It’s been a total pleasure visiting Japan and presenting what PhD research I’ve done so far alongside @seishirotada.bsky.social @kkubo.bsky.social and Kosuke! So thankful for this opportunity, an amazing collections visit and chance to meet so many great and welcoming scientists🇯🇵

I have finally submitted a chapter of my dissertation🐢

Hello #bluesky! In the regular meeting of the Paleontological Society of Japan this weekend, I'll be talking about my recent work on ceratopsid narial soft tissues, particularly using this lovely Triceratops housed at the Ibaraki Nature Museum! Happy #FossilFriday!
