Leonardo, coming Sept. 14

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.

Fantastic! absolutely fantastic.

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)
