#OnThisDay in 1928, paleontologist John Ostrom was born.
Ostrom inspired the #Dinosaur Renaissance, after he discovered Deinonychus in 1964 and argued that dinosaurs could be fast moving and warm-blooded
He also helped show that birds are dinosaurs (an idea that had been floating around a while but wasn’t always accepted), and suggested that the duck billed dinosaurs (hadrosaurs) had a good sense of smell with their long nasal passages that wound around the skull
