I work with three ongoing field studies researching health, growth, and biodemography in rural and indigenous populations: the Dominica Longitudinal Health Study (Saint David, Dominica), the Shodagor Longitudinal Health and Demography Project (Matlab, Bangaldesh), and the Chaco Area Reproductive Ecology (CARE) Program (Formosa, Argentina).
