2019 Ph.D., Evolutionary Anthropology

How has being an Evolutionary Anthropology graduate from Duke helped shape you personally and/or professionally?

"I received an excellent, well funded education and was able to do research at the Duke Lemur Center. I feel very grateful for having had the chance to go through the graduate program and for the academic network that I was introduced to at Duke."

What advice would you give students in Duke's Evolutionary Anthropology programs? 

"Get to know what people are doing at Duke outside your lab and department. There's a great deal of cutting edge research going on and many potential collaborations to find."
