EPISODE DESCRIPTION

What drives women in science to challenge the status quo?  The Life of Her Mind host, Mia Wood, discusses this question and more with Dr. Suanna Crowley, anthropologist, geoscientist, founder of Headfort Consulting, science communications specialist, and Lead Archaeologist with SWCA, a national environmental consulting firm.

Hear Dr. Crowly 

• Discuss her path to science, particularly anthropology and geosciences, inspired by early exposure to nature shows on television and a fascination with human societies
   
• Explain her work in applied anthropology, which involves applying academic knowledge to solve practical problems outside the academy, such as preserving archaeological resources and improving patient experiences in medical settings
   
• Consider the growing importance of applied sciences as traditional academic roles diminish, particularly how anthropologists contribute to fields like technology and policy by understanding human interactions with new systems and processes
   
• Detail her experience designing a social media campaign for a scientific discovery that reached 4.5 billion people globally, achieving 3.5 billion social media impressions within 48 hours.  

If you’re inspired by women who are reimagining science and shaping the future of discovery and how that discovery happens, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.
