Scouts Dino Day

On view in Dinosaur Discoveries: Ancient Fossils, New Ideas: T. rex BiomechanicsT. rex is often depicted with its great legs in a crouch—but was that its typical pose? Some biomechanical scientists doubt it. This model, shown mid-stride in this scale model, may have been rather straight-legged, too. An accompanying video shows how biomechanics experts think a creature the size of T. rex might have gotten around, and a how this great carnivore was likely much slower than any Hollywood T.…

Isamu Noguchi: Metal the Mirror

“Here is where finally opposites come together, I see a surprising purity. Stone is the depth, metal the mirror. They do not conflict…” —Isamu Noguchi While the renowned sculptor Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988) is best known for his work in stone, he consistently explored new materials and methods during his wide-ranging career.
