I'm an anthropologist and currently in my third year as a postdoc in the Aktipis Lab at Arizona State University.
For the Human Generosity Project, I am studying resource sharing within social networks. During the summer of 2017, I will be in southeast Kentucky collecting interview and survey data on sharing and helping. Along with Athena Aktipis, I also co-direct the Microbiome & Behavior Project at ASU. The central goal of this project is to investigate human social engagement from a microbial perspective, including both pathogen and beneficial commensal transmission. My Ph.D. work (supervised by Lee Cronk, Rutgers University) was on social learning mechanisms needed to produce complex material culture. |
