Brooklyn-based freelance journalist and literature instructor at Brooklyn College Daniel Grushkin is used to seeing parallels between literature and science. In this month's Notebook (The istope diet), Grushkin shares the story of researchers analyzing an ancient iceman's hair for details of his diet. "The idea in literature is if you write a book, a masterpiece, you will be immortalized, but there's actually an archive of life found in the body without you having ever known it. It's sort of unbelievable." Grushkin's work has appeared in such publications as The New York Times, Men's Health and National Geographic Adventure.
