For some, the line from point A to point B is fairly straight. For others, it’s a zig-zag. I am definitely a zig-zagger. I didn’t find an easy, straightforward path into becoming a bioarchaeologist. To be honest, I don’t think any “easy” path in any career actually exists. Nor should there be one. Every mistake, rejection, challenge, and disappoint…
