Dr. Michele Koons on Ancient Andean Archaeology and The Denver Museum of Nature and Science

Dr. Michele Koons comes on the podcast today to talk all about her career and path to becoming the Archaeology Curator at The Denver Museum of Nature and Science (https://www.dmns.org/). She explains how her love and passion for ancient peoples and artifacts developed during college, and discusses some of the great opportunities she had to explore her interests throughout her education. She then did her graduate research at Harvard on the Moche peoples of Peru, who lived thousands of years ago. Dr. Koons emphasizes her love for sharing information and knowledge with the public, which inspired her to start doing behind the scenes informational videos on the collections at the museum and sharing them with her Instagram followers.  https://www.gofundme.com/f/that-anthro-podcast-fundraiser?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1 Please consider donating!  Follow @dr.michele.koons on Instagram, check out her website here: http://www.drmichelekoons.com/    Follow @thatanthropodcast on Instagram, and @ThatAnthroPod on Twitter for more behind the scenes content.  Brought to you in collaboration with the American Anthropological Association check out their podcast library here https://www.americananthro.org/StayInformed/Content.aspx?ItemNumber=1629
