@boscheV Sorry for the slow reply. I've done several articles on paleolithic art. One of my favorites is this interview with Werner Herzog on the artwork of Chauvet cave. https://t.co/dR3olGM9oS

Just 61 gene variants distinguish modern humans from the Neandertals. Researchers are trying to figure out how these unique gene variants shaped our evolution by studying the effects of their archaic counterparts in brain organoids 🤯 https://t.co/BfGVxu6IlL (by me)

@Barry_Yeoman @wudanyan @lyrebard The first assignments I made as an editor were to the writers I liked from fact checking their work. It was a pleasure to work with you in both capacities @Barry_Yeoman

@ejwillingham 's article about the demand for a test to screen out embryos that are prone autism during IVF. It raises questions: Autism is a complex trait, so what genes would you look at? What other traits might accidentally be weeded out? #autism

I really identify with the dolphins in this story who can't be told to do anything, but are always ready to play.

[Erik Vance @erikvance]

So, @NYTParenting
let me out of my cage to write about what humans can learn about playing by watching animals. This was SO much fun. I want to be @ispeakwookiee in my next life. And thank you so much to @MarcBekoff and Alex Taylor. https://t.co/Vqbckxo8HB

In Collecting Indigenous Feces, A Slew of Sticky Ethics https://t.co/KE4BtqPJBf via @undarkmag This is an excellent look at the ethics of taking biological samples. It's great that more anthropologists are involving indigenous people in the ways they design their research

Some of you may know that @NautilusMag is in the process of being sold. It still owes $186,000 to writers.

Myself and other writers, in partner with the National Writers Union @paythewriter are asking that this be considered in the sale. More here:

My latest for Scientific American. Thanks to Tanya Lewis and Dean Visser for a great editing job. https://t.co/43Vb70CfGf

[Zach Zorich @ZachZorich]

This is suspicious #paynautiluswriters https://t.co/iMxm5VJIob

[Brooke Borel @brookeborel]

Parts of the @NautilusMag letter raise my eyebrows. As recently as March 2017 there were calls for pitches and I heard of people going unpaid months earlier. How can you say you weren't still assigning in the face of financial crisis? https://t.co/5PhQsMzaDk #PayNautilusWriters

[Seth Mnookin @sethmnookin]

But you're soliciting new material without telling writers that you've failed to pay journalists whose pieces have already run. It's dishonest not to acknowledge you're forcing writers to give interest-free loans. You're chipping away at debts by running a con game. https://t.co/Llu91uRpae

[Zach Zorich @ZachZorich]

@bizarrissime Hi Katherine, the article runs on pages 32-39 in the November 2015 issue. Glad you liked it!
