Now, I will readily admit that this isn't quite as broadly appealing as my cookbooks. Nor is it as cool as the things some of my friends do — like go into space, build rocket ships and so forth, but hey, I do what I canl Here is the write up in NYT and Economist http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/17/science/earth/outsider-challenges-papers-on-growth-of-dinosaurs.html? r=0 http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/12/17/science/earth/1217-dinosauchtml?ref=science http://www.economist.com/news/science-and-technology/21591837-enthusiastic-amateur-suggests-work-how- dinosaurs-grew-wrong-bone Here is the paper itself in PLOS One http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0081917 Nathan Myhrvold Founder, CEO E — rin www.intellectualventures.com THIS MESSAGE MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION WHICH MAY ALSO BE LEGALLY PRIVILEGED INFORMATION.
