A newly discovered species of dinosaur is now on display at London’s Natural History Museum. Researchers have named this new species Enigmacursor mollyborthwickae, a speedy, two-legged herbivore, 64 centimetres tall and 180 cm long that lived about 145 million to 150 million years ago, during the Late Jurassic Period. New Scientist spoke to Susannah Maidment, a palaeontologist at the Natural History Museum, who analysed the Enigmacursor specimen, which was uncovered from the Morrison Formation in the western US in 2021-22. The Morrison Formation has produced fossils of some of the most famous dinosaurs in the world, such as Allosaurus and Stegosaurus. But not all of its species are as well-known. Many smaller herbivorous dinosaurs, in particular, have been historically overlooked. Maidment hopes that this work will shine some light on long-ignored animals of the formation and clear the way for more discoveries in the future.

‪@lizabecmusic‬ lives with musicogenic epilepsy, a rare type of epilepsy that can be triggered by music. In their case, complex hand movements when playing the recorder can cause seizures. To cope, they've adjusted musical styles and created the Roborecorder, a digitally enhanced instrument. This is Liza's story: https://youtu.be/aHk2hGLVHqM
