Good day to all listmembers!

In 2013 a paper came out with some interesting findings about how people perceive an image of Tyrannosaurus rex. About 70 percent of college students drew it with wrong and outdated upright posture back then. I would like to ask, if you have any experiences with this in your work? How about 2021, do students and public in general still get this iconic dinosaur wrong? Thank you for your thoughts! Tom
