I recently accepted a position as Associate Professor at the University of Catania (my alma mater). This is essentially the next rank compared to my current tenured research-only position. I will move my lab in the fall. https://www.fruciano.org/events/the-lab-will-move-to-the-university-of-catania-in-the-fall/ #evolution #morphometrics #zoology #biology #academicchatter #geometricmorphometrics

Last day of the #GeometricMorphometrics course and what a ride it's been! Our brilliant instructor @CarmeloFruciano
has taken us on a mind-bending journey.
We can't wait to see our attendees applying these new skills and knowledge to their research! 📈🌟

🚀 The 6th edition of the #GeometricMorphometrics course with @carmelofruciano has just kicked off.
Our attendees will discover the latest techniques for analysing and visualising complex morphological data.

Our paper on the enigmatic maxilla fragment from Mugharet el' Aliya is finally published #openaccess in the current issue of the American Journal of Biological Anthropology.

We use a novel #VirtualAnthropology #geometricmorphometrics approach, which helps evaluate even highly fragmentary specimens like this one.

Gongratulations to C. Röding!

Congratulations to Juliana Rodríguez-Fuentes on winning the Physalia award for the best poster at the @eseb 22 in Prague.

She has decided to attend the #GeometricMorphometrics course with Carmelo Fruciano
in April: https://physalia-courses.org/courses-worksh

Delighted to welcome a new visitor to my lab: Anna Stępień, currently an adjunct at the University of #Lodz (#Poland). During her stay in #Sicily, she will improve her knowledge of #geometricmorphometrics which she will apply to her work on #crustaceans. https://fruciano.org/lab-members/
