Environmental conditions during development often have lasting consequences. We study how early-life experiences shape resilience over the lifetime, across generations, and across populations, and we identify the mechanisms that link these early-life environments to long-term outcomes. This research helps us predict how organisms will cope with a rapidly changing world.

Resilience across the lifespan
How do early-life experiences influence aging and performance across the lifespan?

Resilience across generations
How do parents' experiences influence the resilience of their offspring?

Resilience across populations
How do early-life environments influence the ability of populations to respond to environmental change?
