Eleanor Sterling, director of the Center for Biodiversity and Conservation at the American Museum of Natural History, has conducted surveys, behavioral research, and ecological studies of primates, whales, sea turtles, and other animals. With her staff at the CBC, she has translated the information gleaned from research into recommendations for conservation managers, decision-makers, and educators. Sterling has also studied biodiversity and the history of land use in Vietnam, leading to the publication of the award-winning Vietnam: A Natural History, co-authored with two CBC colleagues and published by Yale University press in 2006.

Sterling has recently started blogging from a remote mountain in Vietnam as she and colleagues look for a highly endangered primate, the grey-shanked douc (Pygathrix cinerea). Sterling takes readers along on the expedition by posting stories about her field adventures, conservation work, and discoveries to The New York Time's' "Scientist At Work: Note from the Field" blog.

The American Museum of Natural History is launching a double feature of the Museum's space shows as part of the year-long celebration commemorating the 10th anniversary of the opening of the Frederick Phineas and Sandra Priest Rose Center for Earth and Space. The double feature includes the Museum's first two space shows: "Passport to the Universe" (narrated by Tom Hanks), which launches visitors on a thrilling trip through space and time; and "The Search For Life: Are We Alone?" (narrated by Harrison Ford), which explores a question that has always captivated the human imagination: does life exist beyond Earth?

These space shows are playing Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 and 8:30 p.m. at the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History. For more information, visit http://www.amnh.org

When the Deepwater Horizon offshore oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico exploded on April 20, 2010, it set off an oil spill that may exceed the extent and impact of the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska's Prince William Sound. Of grave concern is the oil's near- and long-term effects on both wildlife species and Gulf ecosystems at large. In this Bio Bulletin, view satellite imagery of the shifting surface oil and learn what's at stake.
