Yuko Shimizu’s illustration, featured both on our site header and on our workshop poster, was originally designed to accompany Cordelia Fine and Mark A. Elgar, “Promiscuous Men, Chaste Women and Other Gender Myths,” Scientific American 317 (September 2017): 32-37. You can view details of the illustration here  or see the article itself.
