   Since 1985, Bill Parsons has been working as a scientific illustrator for the Buffalo Museum of Science. What first brought him to the museum community was an interest in creating a series of etchings related to vertebrate fossils. While creating the various etching plates that were a part his original intent, he became interested in, and volunteered to work at, the newly developed Pleistocene excavation that the museum's geology department, was conducting in Byron, NY under the supervision of Dr. Richard Laub.
   
   Since then Bill has created scientifically accurate illustrations for the Buffalo Museum's departments of geology, anthropology, and invertebrate zoology as well as for several other scientists and institutions working in related fields of interest. His illustrations have appeared on the covers of the journals Science and Nature as well as the cover of Discover magazine. Also, his work appeared in such magazines as Time, Natural History, Popular Science, Rolling Stone, US News and World Report, on the front page of The New York Times and USA Today, and on the television programs and websites of the Discovery Channel and National Geographic magazine.
   
   Along with the application of his artistic abilities to these various fields of science, he along with his wife Kris, began to take a serious interest in the areas of archeology and vertebrate paleontology. While continuing each year to work on staff at the Hiscock site (Bill and his wife were married at the site in 1994), their interests have led to a variety of field research projects including the discovery of a small assemblage of Clovis-style Paleo-Indian artifacts near the northern-most end of the Smith River in central Montana.
