MaRS tenant AXS Biomedical Animation Studio worked with Boston-based film director Mark Davis and paleoartist Hall Train on a fascinating NOVA TV special, which premieres on tonight, February 26, at 8 pm on PBS.

If you’re even a little curious about dinosaurs and the origins of birds, you won’t want to miss The Four-Winged Dinosaur. In the program, NOVA travels to the Chinese stone quarry where the fossil was discovered and teams up with the world’s leading figures in paleontology, biomechanics, aerodynamics, animation, and scientific reconstruction to perform an unorthodox experiment: a wind tunnel flight test of a scientific replica of the ancient oddity.
