Biomedical models of women\u2019s health have sometimes pathologized the normal variation of women\u2019s reproductive physiology, and neglected aspects of physiology considered too difficult to measure. A more expansive understanding of women\u2019s health is crucial: as human populations become more industrialized and sedentary, inflammatory disruptions from immunological or psychosocial stressors as well as obesity play an increasing role in women\u2019s reproductive function. Further, research must continue in hard-to-reach places like inside the uterus if we are to resolve longstanding, widespread health concerns from endometriosis and fibroids. Clancy\u2019s research program seeks to expand the model of human female biological variation in modern environments through fieldwork in the US and Poland, and novel laboratory methods to improve noninvasive biomarker detection. Finally, Clancy will discuss her new research program on the relationship between work environment and women\u2019s science careers, as a way to initiate discussion on the importance of humane, inclusive science culture to productivity and innovation.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Kathryn Clancy, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign"}],"uid":"27964","created_gmt":"2014-12-12 10:40:07","changed_gmt":"2017-04-13 21:20:56","author":"Jasmine Martin","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2015-01-20T10:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2015-01-20T10:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2015-01-20T10:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2015-01-20 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2015-01-20 15:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2015-01-20 15:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1275","name":"School of Biological Sciences"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"112151","name":"Kathryn Clancy"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"},{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EIf you have questions about logistics or would like to set up an appointment with the speaker, please contact the School of Biology\u0027s administrative office at \u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:bio-admin@biology.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ebio-admin@biology.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
