YAY! We have achieved Silver status in June's Laboratory Efficient Assessment by @ucl's Katherine Howett. Thank you to all members of the Centre who worked hard to achieve such #sustainable #labs. Info: .@SustainableUCL @uclcdb @uclnews @UCLLifeSciences

Job Vacancy - Anatomy Tutor needed to deliver practical-based #anatomy teaching to under/post-graduate students, using cadaveric and prosected material, Anatomage table and #imaging resources. Max. 12 h pw, September 2025-May 2026: @ucl @UCLLifeSciences.

In the news today is the discovery of a small #dinosaur, Enigmacursor mollyborthwickae, named after a donor, Molly Borthwick. Enigmacursor, means “mysterious runner”. It will be displayed in the @NHM_London,which published this picture © Bob Nicholls Art.

In our #research, we see how #climate or #environmental changes affect the #animal world. Interested/concerned? If so & in/near London, perhaps book this free session @NHM_London THIS Thursday, 25Jun. More info at: @london_climate @SustainableUCL @ucl

Creating a buzz: prepare to appreciate those #picnic pests! Our colleagues at the @GrantMuseum are hosting an exhibition on the World of #Wasps from 25 June 2025 to 24 January 2026. Click for info on evening and family events. #summer #wasp #exhibition #science #FamilyFun #insect

RT @dpulera: Today is World Crocodile Day! This day draws attention and awareness about these amazing reptiles and their relatives alligato….

Congratulations to our Kat Gregory, who has just completed her @couch_5k. Kat, a PhD student with @rfelice, only started #running with *our Running Club in March 2025, so it's a great achievement! *Anyone from @uclcdb welcome - contact r.marek@ucl.ac.uk for info. @UCL_Wellbeing

Our #Artist-in Residence, @MaryYacoob, has produced new large-scale #cyanotype prints reimagining of #scientific visual data from @UCLLifeSciences #researchers. Faculty private #exhibition details here: @uclnews @uclcdb #artandscience #art #artwork

Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay2025 - highly appropriate that we just had our #LEAF audit to ensure our labs work as sustainably as possible. The focus is on #plastics - let's reduce production: reduce demand, so recycle, reuse and find alternatives @UCL .

Only a month to go before the 60th @NHM_London #Wildlife #Photographer of the Year Exhibition closes on Sunday 29 June 2025. A quiet viewing is possible with off-peak tickets (£15.50). Entry free for members. Guided tours are also bookable. @ucl .

We love #functional #morphology in our Centre (relating an animal's shape to how it moves, eats . ). Here's an interesting article & great images on #elephantine #giants, and the trade-off between size/range of #locomotion. #elephant #mammoth #biology .

#Climate change threatens crops & wildlife. Could our #research into ancient animals help us to build resilience vs climate impacts? This @BBC podcast discusses ideas with the Peruvian Andes' ‘Potato Guardians’, and UK's @NHM_London. @UCLLifeSciences .

We've been busy applying for our first #GreenImpact Award, as part of the Centre's #sustainability effort. We've rolled out our weekly #Running Club (founded by @ryndmrk) to all of @uclcdb. Beginners welcome - including @couch_5k ers!.@UCLLifeSciences .

News! 2025's World Anatomy Day is on 15 October, focusing on 'global perspectives of #anatomy – recognising differences while celebrating similarities within the international anatomy community. We'll be celebrating - watch this space! @UCLLifeSciences @UCLEvents #WAD2025

Susan Evans & co-researchers suggest #lizard-like #reptiles may have climbed on waterside vegetation, dropping into the water if threatened. Hand #bone scans show suitably long, curved phalanges. @NHM_Science @UCLLifeSciences @uclcdb

Switch off for Easter break: @ucl spends almost over £3,000/hr overnight on #electricity. @SustainableUCL & Estates have been working hard centrally to reduce our #energy. Please help us to make a difference. #SwitchOff non-essential equipment/lights to reduce our C emissions.

Susan Evans & collaborators from China have published a paper describing a new genus and species of lizard from ~75 million years ago in Henan Province, China. #paleo #evolution #anatomy #lizard @UCLLifeSciences @ucl @ucl @uclcdb .Full paper here:

We in the Centre are pleased to have (a) completed the work for & (b) made our application for a #LEAF silver award. We already have bronze status. LEAF is a useful scheme to support more #sustainable #labs in #research orgs. @SustainableUCL @UCLLifeSciences @uclcdb #Environment

At American Association for Anatomy's '#Anatomy Connected' conference, Susan Evans & Marc Jones presented on the #evolution of bony arches surrounding #skull apertures in reptiles (lizards, snakes). @UCLLifeSciences @uclcdb @ucl @AnatomyOrg @NHM_London @NHM_Science #morphology

On Friday, 4 of us sang (with London City #Chorus in St Andrew's, Holborn) Michael Haydn's Requiem & Vivaldi's Gloria. As the photo shows, a good time was had by all! To join, see @yacoobmary, @SandraMartelli2, @drphilcox #sing #choralmusic #choir @ucl
