#BlackBirdersWeek! As a zooarchaeologist, my research lives at the intersection of anthropology and zoology. My fieldwork required monthly oyster collections on St. Catherines Island Georgia to establish a modern proxy for archaeological isotope studies. @BlackAFinSTEM 1/3

My career has taken me outside the US as well, with opportunities to experience what fieldwork is like in Biology and even Paleontology. As you can see, I kind of gravitate towards the herps! #BlackInNature 2/3

The most meaningful work for me is the archaeology in collaboration with @NPSSEAC and the Slave Wrecks Project on the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade to understand this history and how it shaped our world today. Connecting STEM and the social sciences is critical. #BlackandSTEM 3/3
