How Dinosaurs Turned into Birds
Bassel Arnaout
(PhD Student at University of Cambridge)
Bassel is a PhD student working in two departments at Cambridge university. He is also a Canadian and a Syrian refugee with a passion for understanding evolution! His interest is understanding bone evolution over short and long time periods. To that end he uses insights from two fields of science to uncover how avian dinosaurs (birds) diversified into over 10,000 species with very different body shapes.
