My research also explores social stratification and health, examining within-group heterogeneity. We have lots of opportunities for networking, collaboration, and gaining quantitative skills. Located in beautiful Newark, DE, we are super close to major cities (Philly!) and more rural areas.

I wanna signal boost this - I am looking to recruit a prospective PhD student to join my Stress and Health Equity lab at the University of Delaware in HDFS. My research concerns biopsychosocial mechanisms of health across the life course with an emphasis on stress and coping.

Oh wow! My mom tried making me hang out with kids who had chickenpox and I never developed it. I still think it’s so interesting, because me, my sister, and my mom have never had chickenpox.
