Jeanne Timmons /

Contributing Editor

A renewed interest in paleontology later in life propelled Jeanne to start freelance writing. Her Bachelor's degree from Drew University was not in science, so she’s spent over ten years taking online classes and reading paleontological books and scientific papers. She has also attended annual meetings of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology and the International Conference on Mammoths and Their Relatives, and was a participant in the Valley of the Mastodons conference at California’s Western Science Center. Scientists from all over the globe have been interviewed for her blog (mostlymammoths.wordpress.com). Her work appears in Ars, Gizmodo, and the New York Times. You can find her on Twitter @mostlymammoths.
