Now on ScienceBlogs: Pale Blue Dot
The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it. - Terry Pratchett

I normally don't care when I miss television documentaries, but I'm going to have to find some way to see this when it airs in three weeks;
So... freakin'... cool... And remember some of those exclusive clips (which are not associated with the Discovery Channel program) that I told you about a while ago? The Houston Museum of Natural Science has been kind enough to upload some of them to the web. Here's Bob Bakker on "duckbills";

Bakker was my favorite paleo talking head when I was a kid. He looks much older now but still has that captivating and entertaining way of speaking and presenting information.

I've been lucky enough to be there for some of the filming - and the documentary is going to be amazing. When I saw this preview, I literally jumped out of my seat. The best part is when Bakker and all the paleo guys start reacting to the scans like they're watching the Super Bowl - "yeah, baby!!"
Michael Jorgenson (the filmmaker) is incredibly talented, the subject is fascinating, and the scientists are really cool to watch. I can't wait to see it! (And, for anyone who's interested, we're posting a whole series of videos about Leonardo and Dr. Bakker at the HMNS blog and on youtube)
