Ever wondered what a dwarf racing a giant would look like? Our (@TaylorJMDick and @FriedlDeGroote) new paper simulated humans moving at masses from 0.1 kg to 900 kg. We use them to understand the biomechanical limits to speed as mass increases.

@madfuzz82 @NicholasWuNZ yeah, but this way i could justify building a giant human and make it race against a tiny human....

Komodo dragons have iron -coated teeth!! It was amazing to be part of this team led by @AaronLeBlanc6 - showing that this iron coat in komodo (and in other varanid lizards!) might help keep these teeth sharp @usceduau
