In this episode, we are chatting with Dr. Gino Caspari, a Postdoc in Archaeology at the University of Sydney and the University College London. Dr. Caspari also runs a very popular archaeology Instagram account @ginocaspari that currently has over 123K followers and we discuss the importance of science communication and his experiences on Instagram. We cover his wild and interesting academic career, with many changes in majors and degrees. We also discuss Dr. Caspari's ongoing research in Siberia and his collaborative work with Indigenous Siberians and the issues of language barriers in publications.
