   A Story of Us with Julia R. Frost (Archaeology)

   In this episode, we sit down with Julia (frost6603@gmail.com), an undergraduate in the Anthropology Department at The Ohio State University, to talk all things archaeology, art, and ancient plants. From excavating in the Northern Chaco Outliers Project to working in an archaeobotany lab, Julia shares how her interdisciplinary lens—combining anthropology with art—shapes the way she studies the past. We chat about collaboration, creativity, and the questions that drive her research into ancient human-environment relationships.

   A Story of Us with Dr. Habiba Chirchir (Biological Anthropology)

   In this episode, Dr. Habiba Chirchir, a biological anthropologist, discusses her research on skeletal anatomy and behavior and its implications for understanding human evolution. She explores what it means for the human skeleton to be more ‘gracile,’ drawing comparisons between the domestication of domestic dogs and wolves, the challenges of interpreting skeletal changes, and the importance of collaboration and mentorship in her work. Dr. Chirchir is looking to grow her team!
