A couple of weeks ago my collaborator Connie Mulligan and I had a chance to talk with Chris Lynn and Cara Ocobock from HBA’s Sausage of Science podcast about our recent paper, led by Peter Rej, in American Journal of Human Biology. Our wide-ranging conversation covers how Connie and I got into anthropology in the first place, how we started working together, the importance of a community-based participatory research approach to our partnerships in Tallahassee, and the new paper itself, which shows that experiences of racial discrimination are associated with shortened telomeres among African Americans in Tallahassee.

P.S. Despite saying (twice!) that I was a psychology major for a while before switching to anthropology, that’s not true! Philosophy, yes; psychology, no. I guess the stress of talking about stress was just too much for my brain to handle.
