Interested in how the craniofacial system develops after birth in laboratory minipig and domestic pig models? In brief, similar at birth but divergent ontogenetically! Check royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... @moazenlab.bsky.social @ucl.ac.uk @royalsociety.org

POST-DOC #JOB ADVERT – DEADLINE 20th Aug 2025 @ucl.ac.uk @ucl-c4ia.bsky.social @moazenlab.bsky.social To work on a #HFSP funded project that aims to understand the musculoskeletal system of head-first burrowers; leading computer simulation aspects of the project see moazenlab.com/vacancies/

Honoured to receive the Ruth Bowden Award for my PhD research on the cool biomechanics behind how birds stand up from British Federation of Women Graduates! Grateful to the committee and everyone who supported this journey. #BFWG #BritishFederationofWomenGraduates

Professor John R. Hutchinson@johnrhutchinson.bsky.social · last yr.

Congratulations to PhD student @tinandemu.bsky.social, who has won the British Federation of Women Graduates' Ruth Bowden Award, honouring female scientists in anatomy-related disciplines. Hurrah! Prof. Bowden OBE had a stunning array of achievements-- livesonline.rcseng.ac.uk/client/en_GB...

Our paper Regional variability in craniofacial stiffness: a study in normal and Crouzon mice during postnatal development is out in BMMB. This work expands on our previous paper in BMMB. We investigated various loading locations and computational models. Read more: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Ever wondered how birds stand up? Our paper explores how emus use their muscles to stand up. We found that these large, flightless birds use large muscle fibre length changes, activations and forces. My 1st PhD chapter, out now in @jexpbiol.bsky.social! journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...

Hindlimb kinematics, kinetics and muscle dynamics during sit-to-stand and sit-to-walk transitions in emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae)

Summary: The dynamics, biomechanical constraints and musculotendinous coordination strategies during the sit-to-stand/walk transitions for a large bipedal bird – the emu – inform morphology, evolution...

Do you know what #Lymphoedema is, Dr Katherine Wang from our lab at UCL Mechanical Eng has explained this for bbcfuture www.bbc.com/future/artic... @uclnews.bsky.social @raeng.org.uk

Lymphoedema: The 'hidden' cancer side-effect no one talks about

Patients who beat cancer can be left with an incurable, chronic and painful condition. Sufferers and doctors alike are fighting to bring this hidden condition to light.
