Join us for a discussion about her career in forensic anthropology and building a science communication platform.

Dr. Katie East is a forensic anthropologist, bioarchaeologist, and science communicator. Her PhD research spanned 2,000 years of history, examining human remains from Ptolemaic Egypt to modern-day America. By day, Katie investigates skeletons as a Board-certified forensic anthropologist, and by night (and weekends), she captivates public audiences with the wonders of science and history. With over a decade of experience in museums, laboratories, and field settings, Katie brings a wealth of knowledge about anthropology, archaeology, and science to audiences of all ages. For Katie, being a scientist isn’t just about wearing a lab coat- it’s about curiosity, passion, and empathy.
