 “MEanderthal” is a new mobile application that makes the morphing technology used in the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History’s David H. Koch Hall of Human Origins available for free on mobile devices. Users are able to use an existing portrait of themselves or take a new portrait and morph it into a verison of how they might appear  as one of humankind’s early relatives. Download it at: itunes.apple.com/us/app/meanderthal/id370710977?mt=8

Scientists from the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center have found that fledgling catbirds living in the suburbs are extremely vulnerable. Almost 80 percent are killed by predators before they reach adulthood. Nearly half of the deaths are connected to domestic cats. The team studied catbird nests in 3 suburban neighborhoods in Maryland: Spring Park, Opal Daniels Park, and Bethesda. Learn more about this 2011 study by clicking here.
