“It’s Triassic Dino Poop!”

In this episode of Horse Power Video we cater to the kids! In an age when kids (and everyone else for that matter) get more information and entertainment from the web, ipods, mobile phones and anywhere-but-television, on-demand media, podcasts and mobile downloads become more important and subscription-based media management becomes way more powerful. To that end, here’s an informative and entertaining visit with Mary Schweitzer, some of her favorite dinosaur art and a gaggle of dino loving kids, live in the Twelve Horses conference room…

Mary Higby Schweitzer is a paleontologist at North Carolina State University and the first researcher to identify and isolate soft tissues from a 65 million year old fossil bone. More recently, Schweitzer’s work has provided further evidence of the link between birds and dinosaurs. When she is not discussing the finer points of petrified dino poop with kids, Schweitzer is researching reproductive strategies in dinosaurs and their bird relatives.
