Walking through the airport today, I snagged a copy of the Jan-Feb 2013 issue of Discover magazine. I was elated to see that the rorqual sensory organ was mentioned, sliding in at #74.
(Just ahead of feathered dinosaurs and Jurassic fleas, but well behind the Mars Curiosity rover, which is just fine. That stuff is wild).
For other news stories about the discovery, see links under the Nature paper at the lab's Publications page. We hope to share more about rorqual biomechanics, their evolution and their fossil record in 2013...and if you're going to SICB in San Francisco, be sure to check out Jean Potvin et al.'s posters.
