Cyril presented to our "3D brainsorming team", i.e. Arnaud Delapré, Marta Bellato & Patricia Wils, all the methodological developments he managed to achieve through his own work and the supervision of Baptiste and Axel.
A great technical step for Gravibone that we managed to reach through great exchanges and collaborative work :) Thanks to all of you! |
Romain visited the collections from the Petrified Forest National Park (PEFO) in Arizona, the New Mexico Museum of Natural History (NMMNH) in Albuquerque and the Museum of Texas Tech University (TTU) in Lubbock.
His American first adventure is available at https://dawndinos.com/my-american-adventure-by-romain-pintore/ |
Cyril returned to the NHM to scan rhino long bones
|
PhD official start for Cyril
(see below) & Romain |
Romain starts his PhD on the internal and external structure of long bones among dinosaurs and their cousins in relation to their posture.
Project between DAWNDINOS (with J. Hutchinson) & GRAVIBONE. The first part of his PhD is within the DAWNDINOS team to study the limb bone inner and outer adaptations to postural changes among early archosaurs. |
Cyril got funding for his 3 years-PhD from the FIRE Doctoral School of the CRI (Centre de Recherche Interdisciplinaire).
Well done Cyril!!! Congrats!! He will start in October to work on rhino limb bone biomechanics with Alexandra and Michael Fagan and in collaboration with Peter Aerts, Sandra Nauwelaerts & John Hutchinson. |
