So, technically my “full-time” job is being an exhausted graduate student, but since this is my author page, I get to dream a little.
I’m currently pursuing a PhD in biological anthropology at Binghamton University in upstate New York. My research focus is on infectious disease (tuberculosis and intestinal parasites) and iron. When I’m bored, I dabble in side projects like nutritional deficiencies and the immune response of breastmilk.
I’ve conducted fieldwork across the country and the globe, bouncing from the Appalachian Mountains and Cuba to Tanzania and Vanuatu. There was also that time where I caught black widows for a whole summer — but we don’t talk about that.
