SoS 45- Reaching Out and Digging In with Sarah Lacy

This week on the Sausage of Science, Chris and Cara chat with Dr. Sarah Lacy, a researcher at California State University Dominguez Hills. Dr. Lacy is a biological anthropologist who explores differential frequencies of caries, periodontal disease, and antemortem tooth loss in Neandertals and early modern humans. In addition to her paleoanthropological pursuits, Dr. Lacy is involved in science outreach and social justice. In this episode, she discusses her path to anthropology, her research, and the merger of her academic aims and community activism.
