I am saddened to hear about the passing of Dr. Mark Norell (1957-2025). I feel so fortunate to have shared conversations and published with him. I remember watching his NOVA documentary, “Dinosaur Hunters” on repeat as a child. Paleontology just lost a tremendous scientist. #AMNH

Happy #WorldCassowaryDay! Take a moment learn something new about these amazing flightless #birds and the critical ecosystems in which they live. Also, be sure to read our newest publication discussing casque shape variation among #cassowary species (below). NYITCOMResearch
