22.01.2022 In celebration of Social Sciences Week, were taking a look at some of our amazing Social Sciences graduates! Meet Patrick, Assistant Curator at the Western Australian Museum I started studying straight after high school in 2016. My undergraduate majors were Neuroscience and Archaeology, and in 2019, I completed honours in archaeology. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at UWA and have especially fond memories of travelling for both archaeological field trips and debating co...mpetitions. I studied neuroscience after falling in love with it during the Brain Bee at high school, organised by Jenny Rodger at UWA. My second major became archaeology after a very interesting first-year class with Sven Ouzman, where I ended up sourcing and firing my own clay tablet for an assignment. I was lucky enough to get a job at the Museum straight after graduation. I have remained connected to UWA since then, especially as I finish publishing work that I completed during my honours year.
