I am an evolutionary social psychologist at TCU. I like to use a multidisciplinary, function-based approach to understand multiple facets of human behavior. Some topics we are looking at right now: - How does immune function impact decision-making and strategies of human mating? - How does inflammation impact life history strategies | Sickness behavior & life history trade-offs - How does early poverty impact food regulation and weight gain? - What are the various functions of disgust? - How do hormonal contraceptives impact sensation-seeking, mate choice, and relationship integrity? - Women's mating strategies & intrasexual rivalry
