In 2016, a woman (age 54 at the time) contacted us who was living without her left temporal lobe. She didn't know about her missing temp. lobe until age 25. She never experienced any head trauma/injury, so the temp. lobe was likely lost as a result of pre/perinatal stroke. 1/n

My new book that comes out soon is about insect lifestyles.

Happy #NationalVelociraptorAwarenessDay! Be on the lookout for any #Velociraptors in your area. Also note that this not the proper way to hold a Velociraptor as I’m not wearing any protective arm coverings and the dromaeosaurid is in apparent distress. (1/2)
