Ever wondered why cheetahs are so dang fast, but smaller animals, like mice, or larger animals, like elephants, are much slower? Thrilled to share our new study in @NatureComms led by @EvoBiomech & @cclemente4 w/ Peter Bishop. A chat that started 10 y ago

My grandpa who is 85 started making this rock map of Scotland in 1992.He collected rocks during amateur geology trips over 30 years. He says it had to be geologically correct and also aesthetically pleasing.He asked if I could share online as He wants to go viral so please share
