One of our new graduate students in the lab is Emily (Rose) Bryson. She was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska, where she has worked as a Fisheries Technician for the Department of Fish & Game for 6 research seasons. She completed her B.A. in Physical Anthropology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville where she began formally studying Forensic Anthropology. She has since completed her MSc in Bioarchaeology & Forensic Anthropology at University College London’s Institute of Archaeology in 2016. Rose is interested in the dynamics between the soft tissue of the brain and the endocranium of the human skull. Her research is exploring how these interactions could be useful in forensic identification techniques. Rose has done archaeological fieldwork in both Kenya and Alaska and hopes to continue doing osteological work around the world in her career.
