"#Jews are often thought of as #urban, #bookish folks who don’t venture out into the wild. But there have been plenty of Jews who break that mold — #AbrahamCahan, founder of the Forward, was himself a #birder. In To Life: Jews Exploring #Nature, #author #JoelGreenberg, with #JudithWinston, a #research associate at the #Smithsonian Marine Station in #Florida, tells the life stories of a group of #Jewish #researchers, #naturalists and #environmentalists. I spoke with #Greenberg, a research associate of the #FieldMuseum and the #Chicago Academy of Sciences Peggy Notebaert #Nature #Museum, book author and avid birder who lives in #Westmont, #IL, about the accomplished and often adventurous lives of the #scientists he profiled. This conversation has been edited for length and clarity."

Lead researcher Dr. Amélie Beaudet says the results are challenging what we know about how our ancestors moved across the African landscape.

Historically, the #Smithsonian, which is a public-private trust of the US govt and overseen by its board of regents, has operated largely #independently —but Trump has showed a new interest in influencing arts & culture during his 2nd admin.
