Greetings from paradise

My blogging has been intermittent the past week because I was between Paris, Boston, and Santa Cruz, California, where I am now. At least once each year, I visit a group of friends in this town by the sea (who shall remain nameless, lest their reputations be tarnished by being publicly associated with me.)

When I visit, I stay with a friend who is a professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz, who built his own wooden house on a bluff overlooking the sea. Here is the view from his terrace, the sea is a little faint in the distance but you get the idea.

I'm working on some interesting stories for Science and other publications, which I will be telling you about soon, and the world of politics continues to be outrageous enough that I will be back to commenting on it very soon.

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.)
