What is a bioarchaeologist? What does he or she do?Meet Tiffiny, a kid
like you and me, who grew up and became a bioarchaeologist! Tiffiny's
father emigrated from China to the United States before she was born.
She grew up exploring museums and the outdoors with her father, and
discovered her passion for understanding different peoples and cultures.
Learn about how she uses archaeology and biology to understand how
people in the past lived and why they moved from one part of the Earth
to another.The Who Me? series features inspirational biographies of
scientists who young readers will be able to identify with as people
like themselves. Written by the scientists themselves and co-authors
from Vanderbilt University, the books are designed to help young readers
understand that scientists are regular people like themselves who are
excited about learning and discovering new things and who decided to
work hard in school in order to create for themselves the opportunity to
become scientists. As they learn the stories of these scientists,
readers will also learn some basic science ideas, that are
well-explained and easily understood, and be introduced to the
cutting-edge science these scientists are working on today.
