Announcing the 2022 Sanders Scholar
Core Academy has the announcement of the latest Sanders Scholar, who will be working with me this year on hominins. This will be our third year of awarding the Sanders Scholarship and our fifth individual receiving the award. This year is a little different since we are mentoring this student "in house." Past winners have all been supervised by other faculty at other institutions.
We've already been working most of last year expanding our understanding of "cave man" skeletons, and this year we'll be spending a lot more time with chimpanzee and gorilla skeletons, as well as skeletons of Neandertals, the Flores hobbit, and australopiths. The funding will mostly pay for travel expenses for us to get together and to visit a couple museums. I think the less we say publicly about that, the better.
Thank you to all the donors to the Sanders Scholarship Fund, and please keep your eyes peeled for future candidates. I'm already thinking about the 2023 awards!
Remember also our fundraising campaign this year, and please consider donating to Core Academy or to the Sanders Fund. Thank you.
Have you read my book? You should check that out too!
