The San Francisco Chronicle has a nice profile of Zeresenay Alemseged, who has recently been appointed chairman of anthropology for the California Academy of Sciences:
Even while he is curator at the academy, Zeresenay will continue his fossil hunting in Ethiopia. He is heading back to Dikika in January - studying the region's geology and the varied animals that lived there - and, hopefully, finding the fossil bones of more Australopithecines, young or old. They might even be Salem's parents, or Lucy's other relatives - who knows?
