I am an Associate Professor in the Division of Nutritional Sciences at Cornell University. I received a B.S. in chemistry from Butler University in 2000 and a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Molecular and Cell Biology from Cornell University in 2007.

I believe in the power of how we design our homes and communities to influence our everyday well-being. The experiences we have within their designs reflect complex interactions among the physical structure, social relations, and sociocultural expectations that govern our built environment.

And the fatter we grow, the serious medical consequences become causing increased suffering financial costs. We have been studying obesity for several hundreds of years and despite our knowledge of the consequence of obesity we cannot tell the public how to prevent from growing fatter. I
