On this episode of A Life in Ruins Podcast, David and Connor talk to Dr. Angela Perri about her lengthy CV and her academic/professional career. Dr. Perri is currently the top researcher in the world in terms of understanding the relationship between humans and dogs in the ancient world. So clearly, David's ears perked up.
As usual, we first dive into Angela's early life and career in anthropology, and talk about her interesting transition from a Las Vegas bartender and Oregonian undergrad, to being a PhD student in the UK.
We then discuss her time at Durham University and her dissertation research, which took her to Japan, Mongolia, and the American Southeast. We also talk about her time and research at the Max Planck Institute studying dog genomics and DNA. David and Connor also ask Angela multiple questions about dogs, dog domestication, and the human/dog relationship.
We then end on Angela's career advice and have a heart to heart conversation about mental health, Academia, and CRM.
