Congrats to @rebeccalowes.bsky.social on deservedly winning best talk at morphupnorth and a new office mug!

Had a great day at MorphUpNorth yesterday and very pleased to have been awarded best talk!

Oxfordshire Dinosaur tracks - Falkingham Lab from Liverpool John Moores University YouTube video by Peter Falkingham

Oxford had a talented group make a video about the #dinosaur tracks in Oxfordshire this summer.
Birmingham also had a talented group make a video.

I made the video for our group. It is less professional. And has wildly inappropriate music:

The release of the BBC story on this year’s dinosaur track excavation at Dewars Farm means I can finally post these team photos. Thanks so much to quarry manager Mark Stanway & all his team at Smiths Bletchington for being utterly amazing & supporting our work at the site.

A really exciting project to be involved in. Also featured on BBC breakfast this morning at approx 8:17am if anyone is interested!

Dusted off the art skills (or lack thereof) for an anatomy drawing workshop as part of the British Science Festival hosted in Liverpool last week! #BSF25 @britsciassoc.bsky.social

Had a blast teaching "Animals in Motion" last week, together with my @neuroinformatics.dev colleagues.

All course materials, including hands-on coding exercises, are freely available as an online book:

Last week I took part in the @neuroinformatics.dev Open Software Week in London. There were great workshops on collaborative coding and deep learning methods for motion tracking. Big thanks to all the organisers, I'd love to be back next year! #niu_osw

Introducing TRACKEVOL a UKRI/ERC funded project on dinosaur footprints YouTube video by Peter Falkingham

The team and I had a bit of fun with a camera to make a video for the TRACKEVOL project. @rebeccalowes.bsky.social is the only one on bsky I think...

We may make more throughout the project, because regardless of the video quality, it was fun to make!

In case anyone finds this useful, I've now added a 'shape fitter' to the #blender extensions library, allowing you to fit spheres, planes, and cylinders to vertex selections:

Excited to be joining this project!

A busy few months being on the student subcommittee for #ASABSpring2025 - all worth it in the end!
