Martin Wins 2023 Michael Little Early Career Award for Human Biology
Posted: 5/8/2023 (CSDE Research)
CSDE Affiliate Melanie Martin (Anthropology) has just won the Michael Little Early Career Award from the Human Biology Association. The award is only made to one early career scholar per year and Martin’s groundbreaking work on reproductive health and maternal health in the lab and the field has set her apart from the rest of her peers in the field. Melanie’s current work is very broad reaching and includes scientific investigations in the area of human biology and population health, including biomarker-based studies of trauma from early life war exposure in Vietnam on later life health and aging; sleep health among people experiencing homelessness in Seattle; and health and aging within a longitudinal cohort of former Seattle elementary school students from the 1980s. Melanie is a highly productive and creative scholar and we’re so lucky she is in our midst and setting the pace for the field! Read about the award here. Congratulations Melanie!
