Movement is a serious matter, and to understand it Bruno has a PhD in Biology and works in Engineering designing artifacts, besides he's a great enthusiast of making science and spreading it. His research on chickensaurs, a model to understand the walking pattern of dinosaurs, won him the marvelous IgNobel prize in 2015.
