Today we are talking to an American Zooarchaeologist, who moved halfway across the world to pursue her PhD in Archeology at the University of Bradford in UK. From switching from humanities to Science majors to dealing with mental health issues early on in her PhD Alex Fitzpatrick is an excellent example of how you can take your problems and make them into something wonderful, like she has done with her SciComm efforts, which include curating our #STEMSupport column, being a guest blogger at fem of stem blog, and running her own blog “Animal Archaeology” which has over 8 different writing series. Let’s talk to Alex about her unstoppable “STEM” story! Facebook www.facebook.com/animalarchaeology Twitter - www.twitter.com/ archaeologyfitzTwitter for Crastina
