Abstract:
Dr Rebecca Lawn is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. She gained a first-class BSc (hons) in Psychology from Newcastle University and received her PhD from the University of Bristol, where she worked between the School of Psychological Science and the Medical Research Council (MRC) Integrative Epidemiology Unit. Dr Lawn's PhD research applied Mendelian randomization to investigate causal relationships in evolutionary theories of development and behavior with a focus on life history theory (concentrating on age at menarche and age at first sexual intercourse) and the schizophrenia paradox. Her current research interests include the relation of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder with health over the life course.
