Microfauna, Langmahdhalde, and being a Military Spouse with Dr. Gillian Wong - Ep 83

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Gillian Wong, who is an Adjunct Professor of Anthropology at Metropolitan Community College in Kansas City, Missouri, and a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Tuebingen. Dr. Wong chats with us about her early outdoor days, experiences at UC Davis, and how learning French has been useful for her in archaeology. We then delve into her thesis/dissertation work at the University of Utah and then in Germany. She pronounces the name of the site she worked on and Connor/Carlton fails to replicate her pronunciation. Dr. Wong then talks about her experiences being a military spouse and also some advice for those who are military spouses.

Of Koobi Fora and Cathedrals with Ella Beaudoin - Ep 02

Today's guest is someone who we wanted to snag as early as possible, based on her ability to connect with the public.

Ella Beaudoin got started in anthropology at American University, in Washington DC.

She cut her scientific teeth in Kenya as part of the Koobi Fora field School @koobiforafieldschool. The Koobi Fora region is one of the most prolific fossil bearing regions in the world and possibly home to the oldest instances of the use of fire by our hominid ancestors.

She is currently a contractor at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, where she works to help engage and teach the public about evolution and archaeology.

As the goal of this podcast is to connect non-archaeologists with our science, we are super excited to talk with her tonight.

You can follow her twitter at @ella_beaudoinand her instagram @timetravelerinhikingboots.
