The New York Times, The National Herald and The Greek Current Podcast featured Michael Cosmopoulos, a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a professor of Greek Archaeology, who has been conducting an archaeological survey with colleagues and students through the rugged and hilly terrain of Messenia, a region along Greece’s southwest coast. In particular, the survey team was interested in an olive grove near the quaint mountain village of Iklaina, where in the 1950s the Greek archaeologist Spyridon Marinatos had found a site that contained an exceptional amount of Bronze Age pottery.
The St. Louis American and KSDK spoke with Maria Ellis, a music education alumna and the community engagement manager for The St. Louis Children’s Choirs, about her long history with choir and classical music and her more recent experiences with opera ahead of her Carnegie Hall debut next summer. She will conduct works by St. Louis native Robert Ray at the famed venue on June 25.
Wired interviewed a team of researchers from six St. Louis institutions studying pollination in urban and suburban orchards, including Aimee Dunlap, an associate professor of biology. Working in over 250 community gardens, they’re tallying bee species and monitoring their behavior. They’re also checking out how plants respond to healthy populations of pollinators, particularly the native types.
