Dr. Clancy’s laboratory investigates the ways women’s reproductive physiology varies, and how that variation is informed by genes, environment, and gene-environment interactions. Dr. Clancy’s critical research on the culture of science has also received widespread attention. She and her colleagues empirically demonstrated the continued problem of sexual harassment and assault in the field sciences, astronomy, and the planetary sciences across several publications. She received her doctorate in anthropology from Yale University in 2007, and a joint honors bachelor degree in biological anthropology and women’s studies from Harvard University in 2001.
