Currently I am studying reproductive suppression in pygmy marmosets. I use hormonal and behavioral data from adult daughters to see if their social condition affects their reproductive status. Forensic art is another of my interests. I am a trained composite and reconstruction artist and have done sketches of unidentified people for coroners' and sheriffs' departments, here in Ohio. I am collaborating with other artists, physicians, and physical anthropologists from Cleveland State University, University Hospitals, and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History on a project to assess the accuracy and reliability of craniofacial reconstruction techniques. In the past I've worked on several skeletal biology projects, including the analysis of an Early-Middle Woodland cemetery in Ohio, and prehistoric burials from Puerto Rico. |
