'Research shows people get more deep REM sleep than in summer, and may need to adjust habits to season'

I agree. 😴

Intro post: I’m an #obesity scientist trained in #humanbiology & #epidemiology working at interface of biology, behavior, environment. Currently fascinated by #PopulationGenetics & #MolecularMechanisms underlying obesity & its consequences and how #social & #environmental factors disrupt these mechanisms.

Serving as #UNC’s interim Vice Chancellor for Research where I get to learn about all types of research and creative activities across UNC’s extremely #collaborative research environment.

Excited to be a part of this special issue of the American Journal of Human Biology on minimally invasive biomarkers. Check it out for field-friendly approaches to measuring immune function, psychosocial stress, bone health, and more.

#Introduction
Hello Mastodon,
I'm a biological anthropologist who studies human adaptability and #biomechanics through #bioarchaeology, #paleoanthropology, #humanbiology, physiology, and #humanathleticpaleobiology.

Much of my work is on the bioarchaeology of late Pleistocene and Holocene foragers, most recently in Sri Lanka, but I also work on the transition to agriculture.

I'm a Professor of Anthropology at #WesternU. You can find out more about my research at http://pavelab.ca
