Dinosaur of the day Stenonychosaurus, a troodontid that was proposed to be so advanced that it would have evolved into a human like creature if it wasn’t for the Chicxulub impact that made the non-avian dinosaurs go extinct.

In dinosaur news this week:

• A neuroscientist's take on whether dinosaurs could evolve to be as intelligent as humans
• The debate on what made the dinosaurs go extinct continues, with more arguments in favor of the Chicxulub impact
• Troodon could change its body temperature and likely brooded its eggs in nests shared with other females of the same species
