The October 25 Dermer Dreams drive gave students a field-sized goal at Howell High School in New Jersey. The organizer's event page confirms the date and collection sites. Receiving partner Toni's Kitchen reports that the statewide effort filled the field with groceries for about 30 food banks and pantries.

Toni's Kitchen credits Dermer Dreams and Congregation Agudath Israel with 18,560 pounds of donated food for its own shelves and programs. It says the groceries will reach people through mobile markets, its choice pantry and grocery deliveries.

The useful part continues after the bags leave the field. Students organized neighborhood collections; recipient organizations can put the food into their regular distribution work. The event has passed, so this is a report on the result, not an invitation to a drop-off that has already closed.

Infernogallus jamesi was small, feathered and toothless. Its name means hell chicken, after the Hell Creek Formation where the fossils were found. Its table manners are our invention. Its unusual chewing machinery is the discovery.

An international team led by Stony Brook University used CT scans to reconstruct the skull. The arrangement of its palate and chewing muscles suggested a beak that could move back and forth to mash soft food, with parallels to fruit-eating parrots.

In its October 28 announcement, the university describes the animal as a specialized fruit eater. That diet is inferred from anatomy, not a fossilized meal. The research, published in Nature Communications, offers a new way to think about the ecological jobs dinosaurs filled. Some chased dinner. This one appears to have preferred dinner that stayed on a branch.
