Gluten and Alien Free Archaeology: Combating Pseudoscience with Dr. David A. Anderson - Ruins 11

In this episode of A Life in Ruins Podcast, the hosts have the honor of speaking with Dr. David A. Anderson of Radford University. Dr. Anderson is not only an accomplished Mesoamerican archaeologist, but also famous as a Scicomm writer and has a large twitter following. As you'll find out, Carlton used to study under Dr. Anderson and was a major influence on his career. It seems that he has grown past his days of youtube anthropology raps. David Ian Howe asks interesting questions regarding Dr. Anderson's research, while Connor self-deprecates about the host's collective status as "failed mayanists." However, the conversation ends on a poignant note regarding the culture of academia as well as science communication to the public. You can follow David Anderson on social media via @dsaarchaeology.
