Join me and meet Dr. Kristin Krueger who is an internationally known Research Scientist at Rush University Medical Center and a Chicago based neuropsychologist who wrote the first evidence-based research paper on the effectiveness of Improv for Anxiety. The results of the study conducted by Krueger along with two Illinois Tech research collaborators were published in the paper “Thera-Prov: A Pilot Study of Improv Used to Treat Anxiety and Depression” in the Journal of Mental Health (July 2017).Kristin took her first class in improvisational theater at the famed The Second City Theater and Training Center in Chicago in 2006 for fun, but she soon realized that improvisational theatre techniques could prove useful in her practice. She is currently working on a second study that seeks to categorize improv exercises based on cognitive activities. Her method involves inviting clinical neuropsychologists or trainees and having them participate in games, such as “Wind and Rewind,” which sharpens memory.Kristin is also a member of The Therapy Players, an ensemble of mental health professionals from the Chicago area who are also trained improvisers.

This week on the Sausage of Science, Chris and Cara chat with Dr. Kristin Krueger, an Associate Professor of Anthropology at Loyola University of Chicago. Dr. Krueger is a biological anthropologist who specializes in dental anthropology within paleoanthropological and bioarchaeological contexts. Dr. Krueger discusses her interest in understanding  behavioral strategies of late members of the genus Homo, her fascination with Neanderthals (a recurring theme as of late), and some of her exciting new projects. To learn more about Dr. Krueger, check out her webpage with Loyola University Chicago, email her atkkrueger4@luc.edu, or find her on twitter @DocKruegerPhD.The Sausage of Science is produced by Cara Ocobock and Chris Lynn, with assistance from Junior Service Fellow Caroline Owens for the Public Relations Committee of the Human Biology Association. The song in the soundbed is “Always Lyin’” by the Morning Shakes.Contact the Sausage of Science and Human Biology Association:Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/humanbiologyassociationWebsite:humbio.org/,Twitter: @HumBioAssocMichaela Howells, Public Relations Committee Chair, Email: howellsm@uncw.eduCara Ocobock, Website: https://sites.nd.edu/cara-ocobock/, Email:cocobock@nd.edu, Twitter:@CaraOcobockChris Lynn, Website:cdlynn.people.ua.edu/, Email:cdlynn@ua.edu, Twitter:@Chris_LyCaroline Owens, Email: cowens8@emory.edu, Twitter: @careowens
