Now on ScienceBlogs: Oldest Human-Made Object in Space
David Dobbs on science, nature, and culture.
I write articles on science, medicine, nature, culture and other matters for the New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, Slate, National Geographic, Scientific American Mind, and other publications, and am working on my fourth book, The Orchid and the Dandelion, which expands on my recent December 2009 Atlantic article. In August 2010, I'll be moving to London for a year to work on the book. I'll also serve as a senior fellow at City University London's MA science journalism program.
You're encouraged to check out my third book Reef Madness: Charles Darwin, Alexander Agassiz, and the Meaning of Coral, which traces the strangest but most forgotten controversy in Darwin's career; subscribe to Neuron Culture by email; see more of my work at my main website; or track Twitter feed, my Google Reader shared items, or my Tumblr log, which gets it all.

Always nice when a scene just jumps off the page.
Alice's tea party
Birds of the open forest dawn
Artist is Su Blackwell, whose site has a whole gallery of such enchantment.
Hat tip to my better half, Alice, who likes a) good art, b) cut-outs, and c) the Alice pictured.

Sweet! I've been meaning to compile a post on various paper artists for some time - there are many who work with books like this, but I find Blackwell's work particularly enchanting!
