Dr. Sarah Parcak, an associate professor of Anthropolgy at UAB, is the recipient of the 2016  $1 million TED Prize. On Tuesday evening, TEDxUAB hosted a livestream of her presentation of her plan to create a “citizen science” internet site to help discover and preserve archaeological sites across the globe. Here, President Ray Watts gives a few opening words about Dr. Parcak.

Hey, there! My name is Rachel Higgins, and I am a student at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. I was born and raised near New Orleans, but I count Birmingham as one of my second homes. I'm a crazy cat lady, coffee/candy addict, literature lover, and self-taught makeup artist. I hope you enjoy browsing around all of the great articles on UAB's HC page!
