Dr. Katie East is a forensic anthropologist, bioarchaeologist, and science communicator. Her PhD research examined human remains from Ptolematic Egypt through modern day America. Now Katie analyzes skeletons by day, and by night (and weekends) she educates public audiences. With over a decade working in museums, laboratories, and field settings, Katie offers a broad range of insights about anthropology, archaeology, and science to audiences of all ages. Katie has been a professional forensic anthropologist since 2018 and received her PhD in 2021. She believes being a scientist is not about wearing a lab coat, it’s about asking good questions.
