Dr. Crimmins’ work has been on the leading edge of integrating biomarkers into population studies and identifying the long-lasting impacts of early life health experiences. Join Dr. Crimmins for a discussion about population aging, biodemography, and emerging frontiers in demography. In addition, Dr. Crimmins can speak about pursuing an academic career in demography, multidisciplinarity, directing large research efforts, and finding the edges of existing research.
