Racism’s impacts are measurable. This article summarizes the methods researchers have used to detect the ill effects of racism at cellular and genetic levels. One of the cellular components discussed, telomere lengths, is a focus of the @HaussmannLab.

In the @HaussmannLab, we use plasma samples to measure stress-linked corticosterone concentrations in organisms. This paper mentions an alternative approach that may be used when it is difficult to obtain a blood sample from an avian species.

Couldn’t be more stoked to kickoff the 15th year of undergraduate summer research in my lab @BucknellU! Super excited to be working with these fantastic students on glucocorticoids, oxidative stress, and telomeres in biomedical and ecophysiology!
