#Introduction I hope to understand why some individuals & populations live longer & healthier lives than others.

I like to bridge disciplines- I've trained in #demography, #economics & #epidemiology, & now sit in a Dept. of #sociology. I'm interested in incoroporating #biomarkers into social & population research, especially markers of #immunity #infection, & #microbiome.

I was drafted into #scicomm during #covid19 w/ Dear Pandemic/Those Nerdy Girls.

Happy to be here!
