I am looking at how climate and conflict both affect food security in Ethiopia - and to what extent. Climate change is an overarching factor that's causing food insecurity (directly and indirectly) through lower agricultural yields and less access to food, while conflict is a very direct and immediate factor that interferes with people ability to access food.

The purpose of this registry is to observe outcomes of heart transplant recipients who are managed with HeartCare. This is done by collecting information about your heart transplant such as test results, biopsy results, and outcomes, storing that information in a database, and using that information for research.
In this project we are interested in how reputations affect international cooperation. In particular, we are interested in studying how the cost of cooperation changes for countries who fail to uphold their international commitments. We anticipate that this happens via two mechanisms. The first is direct: a change in beliefs about the state's reliability in the eyes of other countries. The second is indirect: a concern that failing to punish a state for non-cooperative behavior will invite more non-cooperative behavior in the future. States, we suspect, are thus concerned with developing a reputation for tolerating non-cooperative behavior. We use survey experiments on the US public and elites to study these questions.
This is a registry for pediatric IBD patients.
The goal of this project is to bring together experts in family medicine and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) to create a standardized POCUS curriculum that can be taught in medical school. The experts will help us figure out which parts of a POCUS curriculum are important, practical, and useful. We'll use information from this Delphi study to guide our decisions.
