Welcome to the podcast Elaine Aguayo, a masters student studying bioarchaeology at San Diego State University. In this episode, we discuss how she fell in love with anthropology, her first field experience where we met, as well as her advice for community college students looking to transfer to a four-year university. The main topic of discussion is the fieldwork she has been conducting for the last 5 months on an NSF funded project in Oaxaca Mexico, along with her advisor. She explains her experience as a Mexican-American working in Mexico, and the highlights from this excavation. We also discuss the theoretical framework of her thesis, and the general questions she and her advisor were investigating at the site. Lastly, we discuss her goals for after graduate school, with her ultimate goal being to work as a forensic anthropologist on the Mexican border.

Welcome to the podcast Tara Panesar, a masters student at University College London. Tara graduated with her BA in Art History from Cambridge, and recently moved to London to start her journey in Anthropology graduate school. In this episode we dive into the summer field school she attended in Greece and what she took from that experience. We also discuss graduate school and what she think her thesis might revolve around. Lastly, we discuss the article she has coming out, and the brilliant insights she had on a photo journal.

Today on the podcast we have two guests, Kayla Stevens, a senior Anthropology major at the College of Wooster, and Jeannette Lombardi, a first year masters student in Syracuse University's Forensic Science program. For 6 weeks this summer they were both a part of the Louise Lamphere internship hosted by the American Anthropology Association in Washington D.C. They would split their time between the AAA main office and their respective field sites. Kayla focused on interviewing participants and visitors from the Folklife Festival and identifying key themes and takeaways, while Jeannette worked at the Naval History and Heritage Command (Underwater archaeology branch) cataloging artifacts and gathering information on a potential submarine acquisition as well as a shipwreck. I loved getting to meet both of these women, and I hope you enjoy learning about their respective journeys into anthropology as well as details on their summer internship!

Today we have guest Dr. Joe Alcock here to tell us about his journey and life experiences as an emergency room physician and researcher in evolutionary medicine. We will begin with his undergraduate at UCSB and how I met him, then discuss how he chose medicine as his career path. Throughout the whole episode we emphasize the role of evolutionary thinking in medicine and specifically how he thinks about issues he sees in the emergency room like sepsis. He completed his MD at UCLA, and now works at the University of New Mexico as a teacher and physician. He covers why he chose emergency medicine and how he avoids burnout in such an intense job. Lastly, we spend a great deal of time talking about microbes and the microbiome's effect on immune function, his research in this area as well as his thoughts on the evolution of sepsis.

Welcome back dear That Anthro Podcast (TAP) fans! After my summer hiatus I wanted to share an episode with some of the developments in my life and the changes to the podcast moving forward. I am starting my masters degree focusing on bioarchaeology at George Mason University, after graduating from UCSB with my BA this June. I feel incredibly blessed to have the opportunity to continue my education at such an amazing research university under the guidance of stellar faculty. Podcast episodes 1 and 2 of Season 3 will air Sept 7th and 14th respectively, and from then on will be mostly bi-weekly. As I have more episodes ready to go, there may be bonus back to back week releases but the norm will be bi-weekly. As some of you may have noticed the rainbow logo is here to stay. It really grew on me and I feel like it better represent my brand and podcast which is one of inclusion and a wide spectrum of guests. However, Anchor and Apple Podcasts are making it more difficult than necessary and I hope to have it fully updated soon.

Happy Pride month! You'll notice our logo has changed to reflect this month of celebrating all kinds of love and gender identities, I hope you appreciate it.  Today, we have an accomplished guest, Angelo Robledo, an experimental archaeologist and science educator. Angelo recently got his BA from the University of Las Vegas Nevada, and will be pursuing his graduate education at University College Dublin. Angelo has lived in Las Vegas his whole life and has a deep appreciation and connection to the desert there. In elementary school, he became enthralled with an ancient hunting tool called the atlatl. The interest was furthered when they took a class field trip to Atlatl Rock nearby. Since then, Angelo has been crafting his own tools (both stone and atlatls) and is even a part of the World Atlatl Association. We discuss the history of these tools, the various materials they are made of, and dating of these weapons. We also discuss bioarchaeological evidence of atlatl elbow that could help push back the date for these tools.  Angelo is the youngest guest to ever be featured on the Ologies podcast with Alie Ward, which is currently the #1 science podcast in the world. We talk about how this opportunity came to be and how it has impacted him since the episode aired. https://www.alieward.com/ologies/experimentalarcheology Angelo has goals to continue to educate and work in science communication  Instagram @idigit1st Twitter @idigit1st https://worldatlatl.org/ Follow @thatanthropodcast on Instagram, and @ThatAnthroPod on Twitter for more behind the scenes content.

Welcome to the podcast Associate Professor of Anthropology at UC Santa Barbara, Dr. Amy Boddy. Dr. Boddy specializes in evolutionary approaches to human health and researches topics like comparative oncology, maternal fetal transfer and conflict, and much more. Dr. Boddy discusses her academic journey as a first generation student, starting with community college in Michigan and then onto Wayne State where she received her BA and PhD. Dr. Boddy has always been drawn to human health, biology and evolution, but it wasn't until her senior year of college she discovered how she could use an anthropological lens to study the questions she wanted to. We then move into her experience as a post-doc and moving internationally with a young child. 

Prior to her appointment at UCSB, she worked at the Comparative Oncology Center at Arizona State University where she was a professor. While she still works with this team today, in 2017 she accepted a professor position at UCSB. Currently she teaches classes like Evolutionary Medicine, Human Reproductive Ecology, Genetics, and runs a great lab on campus. We talk the transition from ASU to UCSB, quarter versus semester system from student and professorial point of view, as well as her takeaways from online learning. 

Currently, she and a team are investigating microchimerism, or the transfer of cells between mother and baby during pregnancy. She has obtained blood samples from a hospital in Santa Barbara to further research these fascinating cells and their role in immune response.
