Could study abroad or field school be good for your health? Yes! Even w/o gyms students took more steps & burned more calories during fieldwork than traditional classrooms. @humanbiohowells @UNCWilmington @uncw_anthro @UNCWStudyAbroad @ECUAbroad #fieldwork

Glad to see our most recent research on tattooing and immunity published in Adaptive Human Behavior and Physiology!

[Tattooing & Human Nature @Inking_Immunity]

New article alert! "Psychoneuroimmunology & Tattooing" out now in Adaptive Human Behavior & Physiology! "The psychological and physical experience of being tattooed may contribute to physiological adaptations that prepare the skin for other injury." https://t.co/phoZEYwYaP

New article out from collaboration between the @BaylorAnthro Muehlenbein Lab, @Chris_Ly, and others! Have a tattoo? Wonder if it can be physiologically advantageous? Check this out. Interesting preliminary work! #tattoos #physiology #biocultural #anthropology
