New York Times: A Last Look at Mush Valley
SMU paleobotanist Bonnie F. Jacobs is sharing her scientific field work in Ethiopia with the public as it happens in real time through posts filed to the New York Times' "Scientist at work" blog.
Jacobs, one of a handful of the world's experts on the fossil plants of ancient Africa, is part of a team of paleontologists hunting plant and animal fossils in Ethiopia's prolific Mush Valley. Jacobs is an associate professor in SMU's Roy M. Huffington Department of Earth Sciences.
