Ever wondered what a dwarf racing a giant would look like? Our (@TaylorJMDick and @FriedlDeGroote) new paper simulated humans moving at masses from 0.1 kg to 900 kg. We use them to understand the biomechanical limits to speed as mass increases.

Komodo dragons have iron -coated teeth!! .It was amazing to be part of this team led by @AaronLeBlanc6 - showing that this iron coat in komodo (and in other varanid lizards!) might help keep these teeth sharp @usceduau

Just came across this amazing animated video by @LinneanSociety showcasing our research on iguana locomotion. We compared the biomechanics of running in Green, spiny tailed and Marine iguanas to see if there was an influence of habitat on movement! .
