Drones in the Classroom with Dr. Jesse Tune - Ep 154

Dr. Jesse Tune joins Chris and Paul to talk about their favorite subject: Drones! Don't play the drinking game on this one. We can't be held responsible! Anyway, Dr. Tune has a fantastic program that actually prepares his students to pass the FAA Part 107 exam and teaches them about using the right tool for the right job.

Dr. Tune is a prehistoric archaeologist who studies Ice Age human migrations and the colonization of new landscapes. His research focuses on investigating the relationships between humans and the environment – specifically how humans adapt to new or changing environments. His current research involves documenting the early human occupation of the Colorado Plateau, investigating lithic technology in the Southeast United States, and studying how humans adapt to resource accessibility.
