Sofiya Shreyer

Chris welcomes guest co-host, Cristina Gildee, to chat with Sofiya Shreyer, a Ph.D. student in the Anthropology Department at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Sofiya is passionate about increasing research and education on menopause and other understudied women's health issues, such as PCOS, endometriosis, and sexual wellness. Under the guidance of Dr. Lynnette Sievert, she studies grandmotherhood, variation in caretaking behaviors, and the impact of child-rearing on both grandmaternal and children’s health and well-being. With the outbreak of war in Ukraine, Sofiya’s work toggled to focus on the study of menopause, where she manages and coordinates an ongoing multi-year study on hot flash experiences and brown adipose tissue in perimenopausal and menopausal women.

Sean Prall

Chris and Mallika sit down with Sean Prall, an Assistant Professor and evolutionary anthropologist at the University of Missouri. His interests center on human health and reproduction, reproductive decision-making, and evolutionary ecology. He examines costs and trade-offs associated with investments in reproduction. He utilizes a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, including anthropometrics, demography, endocrinology, actigraphy, validated health surveys, and dyadic peer ratings, alongside semi-structured demographic interviews and measures of social norms. Sean’s work is informed by a mix of evolutionary and behavioral ecology, cultural evolutionary theory, and evolutionary psychology, especially related to reproductive concerns. Sean is also a co-director of the Kunene Rural Health and Demography Project, a contributor to the ENDOW project, and a collaborator on the Shodagor Longitudinal Health and Demography Project.Find the publications discussed in today’s episode here: https://sprall.github.io------------------------------Sean’s email: sprall@missouri.eduTwitter: @ssprall------------------------------Contact the Sausage of Science Podcast and Human Biology Association:Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/humanbiologyassociationWebsite: humbio.org/, Twitter: @HumBioAssocChris Lynn, HBA Public Relations Committee Chair, Website: cdlynn.people.ua.edu/, email: cdlynn@ua.edu, Twitter:@Chris_LyMallika Sarma, Website: mallikasarma.com/, Twitter: @skyy_malCristina Gildee, HBA Junior Fellow, SoS producer:E-mail: cgildee@uw.edu

DeLouize is a PhD candidate in Biological Anthropology with previous experience in psychology, oncology, and translational research. She specializes in global health, human evolutionary biology, and applied statistics. Her research focuses on the evolutionary and environmental underpinings of physiological systems, including aging, metabolism, the immune system, cancer, and other chronic diseases. By taking a multidisciplinary approach, she uses anthropology, biology, health sciences, psychology, and epidemiology to understand health and disease at the microbiological, personal, and population levels. Currently, she is study coordinator for the the World Health Organization’s World Health Survey Plus (WHS+) and she has worked closely with their Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health (SAGE) where she focuses on the population-based collection and analysis of minimally invasive biomarkers.You can follow her work at https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Alicia_Delouize2.-------------------------------------Contact the Sausage of Science Podcast and Human Biology Association:Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/humanbiologyassociationWebsite: humbio.org/, Twitter: @HumBioAssocChris Lynn, HBA Public Relations Committee Chair, Website: cdlynn.people.ua.edu/, Email: cdlynn@ua.edu, Twitter:@Chris_LyMallika Sarma, Website: mallikasarma.com/, Twitter: @skyy_malEric Griffith, HBA Junior Fellow, SoS producer:E-mail: eric.griffith@duke.edu

Sausage of Science 187: Alicia DeLouize talks minimally invasive biomarkers

Chris and Mallika check in with Dr. Crystal Patil, (Ph.D. Anthropology from Ohio State University) whose research focuses on how the social world becomes embodied and expressed as health, illness, or suffering. The motivation for her research stems from a concern for social justice.  Her research draws on ecological and social determinants frameworks to make sense of complex health-related problems. She applies these models as she develops and tests strategies to reduce health disparities and strengthen health systems both in the USA and in sub-Saharan Africa.

Zachary DuBois

“The Sausage of Science Podcast with Cara &amp; Chris”From the Public Relations Committee of the Human BiologyAssociationSoS Episode 32- Transgender Experience and Health with Zachary DuboisIn episode 32, we chat with Dr. Zachary Dubois, Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Oregon. Dr. Dubois discusses his most recent research publication, featured in his 2018 HBA talk, "Stigma and diurnal cortisol among transitioning transgender men", as well as his upcoming collaborative research projects. Dr. DuBois joined the Department of Anthropology in the Fall of 2018. As a biocultural anthropologist, his research draws on both qualitative and quantitative methods to ask questions at the intersection of biology and culture. Most broadly, he is interested in social determinants of health and the ways in which our social lives become embodied. Relatedly is an interest in how we adapt and remain resilient in the face of dynamic (environmental and bodily) changes and how these impact health and well-being.

Dr. Hinde discusses her path to anthropology and answers student questions on a number of her latest articles. A few selected topics include: non-human primate shock at seeing toes, recent developments in the field, human lactation, and the microbiome. Dr. Hinde is an Associate Professor at Arizona State University in the Center for Evolution and Medicine and School for Human Evolution and Social Change. Her current research investigates how variation in mother’s milk and behavioral care influences infant outcomes from post-natal life and into adulthood, and subsequent generations.

“The Sausage of Science Podcast with Cara &amp; Chris” From the Public Relations Committee of the Human Biology Association SoS26- “Live" on Lactation with Katie Hinde In episode 26, we go “live” from a talk with Dr. Katie Hinde as part of the ALLELE series at the University of Alabama. Dr. Hinde discusses her path to anthropology and answers student questions on a number of her latest articles. A few selected topics include: non-human primate shock at seeing toes, recent developments in the field, human lactation, and the microbiome. Dr. Hinde is an Associate Professor at Arizona State University in the Center for Evolution and Medicine and School for Human Evolution and Social Change. Her current research investigates how variation in mother’s milk and behavioral care influences infant outcomes from post-natal life and into adulthood, and subsequent generations.
