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

On the "Animals in Motion" track, students are learning how to use the Python package, movement, to analyse pose tracks.

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:

Do birds walk like dinosaurs?

A major research study at LJMU is seeking to establish exactly how dinosaurs walked and how that changed as they evolved into modern-day birds.
