Sunny Sunday in Paris

Sunday in Paris would not be complete without a walk along the Seine River and a "manif" (ie manifestation, French for a demonstration.)
Back to more serious blogging on Monday, with an international perspective of course.

PS--My Boston University student Joseph Caputo, who started the blog Science Metropolis this last semester as a directed studies student under my supervision, gets a writeup today in the Boston Globe. The irony of this is that he taught me how to blog rather than the other way around--my role was to make sure his posts were relevant, help him with his writing, and give him guidance on expanding his audience. A real success story!

I have been a working journalist for more than 40 years, beginning in Los Angeles as an investigative reporter and then in Paris as a travel, food, and science writer. For more than 20 years I have covered anthropology and archaeology writer for Science, Audubon, Scientific American, SAPIENS, and other publications. I have also covered sexual misconduct for The Verge, Scientific American, and others; I write about mental health, especially schizophrenia; and I engage in occasional media criticism. I returned to the USA in October 2017 after 30 years in Paris, and now live in the New York City area, where I currently teach journalism at City College of New York (I previously taught journalism at Boston University and New York University.)
