Research Summary
I am a bioarchaeologist interested in the developmental health experiences of children and how these continue to influence an individuals' health over the rest of their life course. I combine data from human skeletons with biomedical and historical research to investigate the biosocial experiences that influence growth, maturation and disease in the past.
I am always happy to talk about projects looking at childhood illness, pubertal development, and the long term consequences of growth disruptions.
