Update (11:48 PM): Wow. Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Minnesota, maybe even Indiana, Missouri, and North Carolina. I was confident, but I wasn't that confident. Perhaps I underestimated the American people. John McCain certainly did.

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.)
