S1E5: Why do members of the LGBTQ+ community have poorer health? With Evangeline Tabor
Episode 5
Friday, 4 March, 2022

In the 5th episode of the Biosocial Researcher, I speak to Evangeline Tabor, a 3rd year PhD student at UCL. Evie combines her background in Anthropology with her interest in biosocial science to investigate the health of members of the LGBTQ+ community, with a particular focus on mental health and biomarkers. We discuss issues with the way information on sexuality is recorded in large datasets and plausible links between otherness and biological stress. We also talk about academic activism and question the importance of researcher impartiality when you're investigating something you care about deeply.
