Hyperactivity and Puberty – “ADHD on Testosterone”

13 year old boy with ADHK doing a high kick jump

I’m actually quite proud of how the series of articles I wrote on Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) turned out; until recently that is, when it dawned on me that it wasn’t over yet. I had left out an important issue: when hyperactivity meets puberty.

Puberty and hyperactivity, normal teen issues on steroids

The same holds true from my extensive series of articles about puberty—I didn’t mention how it is effected or even altered by hyperactivity. Read more →

Dinosaurs… Where Are The Babies?

Where are the baby dinosaurs?
Another Form Of Extinction

Jack Horner and his dig teams have discovered the first evidence of parental care in dinosaurs, extensive nesting grounds, evidence of dinosaur herds, and the world’s first dinosaur embryos. He’s now exploring how to build a dinosaur.

Paleontologist Jack Horner discovered the first dinosaur eggs in the Western Hemisphere, the first evidence of dinosaur colonial nesting, the first evidence of parental care among dinosaurs, and the first dinosaur embryos.

Horner’s research covers a wide range of topics about dinosaurs, including their behavior, physiology, ecology and evolution. Due to struggles with the learning disability, dyslexia, Horner does not hold a formal college degree but was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Science from the University of Montana in 1986. Also in 1986 he was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship.

He’s the Curator of Paleontology at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana, and is widely acknowledged to be the inspiration for the main character in the book and film Jurassic Park.
