Paleontology's Indiana Jones: from digging to designing, this celebrity scientist has helped map the evolution of dinosaurs

Article Abstract:

Paleontologist Paul C. Sereno of the University of Chicago is both a successful dinosaur researcher and teacher, and an effective popularizer of science. His discovery of several new species, and research challenging prevailing theories of predator and prey co-evolution, are complemented by his commitment to helping children develop an interest in science.

Food for thought

Article Abstract:

The result of various studies on the diet of the robust australopithecines that existed for the first million years is explained. Extensive isotope analysis conducted by Alan B. Shabel, a graduate student of the University of California, Berkeley, includes more than one thousand samples of bones, hair and enamel found in southern-Africa and which would reveal them as shellfish eaters.
