Recordings on paleo- and neolithic flute reconstructions are in permanent exhibits at the American Museum of Natural History, New York and the Archaeological Museum of Florac, France. A lecture and press conference at the AAAS-2000 meetings in Washington, DC and a paper in SCIENCE magazine (Jan 5, 2001) resulted in world-wide press coverage in all the media. A book and museum exhibit on the subject are underway. BioMusic: The sounds of Nature and the Nature of Sound. A national initiative to explore the roots of music in Nature's Sounds and to bring the information into the Middle School Curriculum. Wild Music: A 2007-2008 exhibit at the Minnesota Science Museum in which the flute reconstructions play an important role. The exhibit is in the Boston Science Museum 2009-2010.
