Personal profile

Research interests

I'm a psychobiologist interested in ways that psychological experiences can change health at the cellular, system, and person level. I've carried out research using experimental, observational, and secondary data methodologies looking at stress, nature/human interactions, arts and health, and hemispheric lateralisation. I'm working on a variety of health/immunity projects looking at psychological aspects such as solidarity, person-environment interactions, and workforce dynamics.
