Greetings–
Don’t check your calendar. It is, indeed, Saturday, not Friday. As I was getting ready to put together this newsletter yesterday, I got a call from an editor who needed a story done fast. Everything had to go by the wayside, including Friday’s Elk.
As I’ve written about human prehistory in recent years, I’ve become aware of a pair of 9,500-year-old skeletons stuck in a legal limbo. For my New York Times column this week, I report on a Supreme Court decision that now transfers the bones to a California Indian tribe.
February 11: “Is There A Future for In-Depth Science Journalism?” MIT Communication Forum Details here.
June 23-25: International Society for Evolution, Medicine, and Public Health, Plenary Lecture. Durham North Carolina. Here’s the meeting site.
July 31: I’ll be giving the keynote lecture at the annual meeting of the Botanical Society of America in Savannah
As always, if you have friends who would enjoy getting this newsletter, please let them know they can sign up at http://tinyletter.com/carlzimmer.
You can also follow me on Twitter, Facebook , LinkedIn, and Google+. And there’s always carlzimmer.com.
Best wishes, Carl
