This week on the Sausage of Science, Cara and Chris talk with Dr. Barry Bogin, a "big wig" in the field and Emeritus Professor at the University of Michigan-Dearborn and Loughborough University. Dr. Bogin discusses his work life-long work on human growth and development, along with the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on birth weight outcomes. Check out his latest blog piece on the topic on the Museoa Ecologia Humana website at http://museoecologiahumana.org/en/piezas/covid-19-crisis-emotional-stress-2/. Dr. Bogin is particularly interested in the effects of social, economic, political, and emotional (SEPE) influences on differences in physical growth and health between Maya children living in Guatemala compared to those in the USA.
One note, Dr. Bogin would like all budding students to know that when he mentions ‘calcitonin’ he meant to say ‘osteocalcin’ interactions with growth.
