Last week I blogged my article in Science about the paleoartists who recreate hominins for museums and magazine covers; today, on Science's Origins blog, I give more details about how the paleoartists work with researchers to make their creations scientifically correct. Check it out.

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.)

Elisabetj Daynes is truly talented in her field. Would that there were even more like her(although you've mentioned a few).
