Milo Rossi, who grew up outside of Boston and graduated from UMaine in 2022 with a degree in environmental science and anthropology, is now arguably the most popular archaeology content creator on social media, with more than 2 million followers. Rossi will give a free talk at his alma mater at 7 p.m. Tuesday, “Combating Archaeological Pseudoscience with Social Media,” at the Collins Center for the Arts. “Milo has combined a background in archaeology, a deep understanding of the difference between science and pseudoscience, and a compelling screen presence to become the most viewed real archaeologist today,” said Daniel Sandweiss, the UMaine anthropology and climate studies professor who taught Rossi. Rossi said. “There’s an oversaturated market for BS on social media. I’m trying to put the real information out there.”
