Wendy Puryear is a molecular virologist at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University with a strong interest in viral evolution and adaptation, particularly how host and environmental factors can impact overall viral fitness and influence viral evolution. Her current research aims to better understand how influenza adapts from an avian host to a mammalian host, as well as the role of environmental stability in allowing the virus to persist and transmit across species. Current work centers heavily on North Atlantic grey seals, seabirds, and the coastal environment.

Amanda Martinot, D.V.M., M.P.H., Ph.D., DACVP, is assistant professor in the Department of Infectious Diseases and Global Health. She joined Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine in 2019 as an assistant adjunct professor.
Martinot is a veterinarian-scientist and board-certified veterinary pathologist (anatomic) who specializes in animal models of infectious diseases of global health importance such as tuberculosis (TB), HIV, and SARS CoV-2. With over 15 years of experience in TB biology, her independent research focuses on preclinical animal models for TB vaccine development and the basic immunology and virulence determinants underlying the TB host-pathogen interaction. As a veterinary pathologist, Martinot has expertise in animal models for infectious disease pathogenesis and drug and vaccine discovery research, with a focus on nonhuman primate infectious disease pathology.
Martinot received her veterinary degree from the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine in 2003. She went on to study the epidemiology of infectious diseases and global health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she completed her M.P.H. in 2006. She specialized in comparative pathology and infectious diseases by completing her pathology residency training at Harvard Medical School and New England Primate Research Center, and her Ph.D. at Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, where she studied the microbiology and immunopathology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. She studied vaccine immunology during her postdoctoral studies at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and has contributed to vaccine development efforts for TB, Zika virus, and most recently SARS-CoV-2.

Human behavior is the cause of many environmental, conservation, and societal issues but is also the means to solve them more readily. My lab focuses on human behavior, decision-making, and behavior change in the context of conservation and natural resources management. We use psychology and other social and behavioral science frameworks in combination with survey methods, experiments, and statistical modeling to understand the nature of and reasons for behavior. To inform practice and policy, we study (a) norms, values, and institutions, (b) cognitive, social, and policy processes, and (c) individual and group dynamics.

Amanda Jean Stevenson is a sociologist trained in demographic and computer science methods.  She studies the impacts of and responses to abortion and family planning policy. She is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Colorado Boulder. In her current research, she uses demographic methods to study the impacts of reproductive health policies, and computational methods to study social responses to these policies.
At Boulder she leads the Colorado Fertility Project, a team using massive restricted-access administrative data at the Census Bureau to evaluate the life course consequences of access to (as opposed to use of) highly effective contraception. With funding from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the team is developing an individual-level longitudinal dataset Integrate administrative records and surveys to build a large-scale, individual-level longitudinal dataset, to be called Reproduction in People’s Lives (RIPL), describing the life course of nearly all US residents.
She also co-leads a collaborative project using mixed-methods to evaluate the impacts of parental involvement laws and the judicial bypass process for minors seeking abortion care.  
Her analyses of the impact of reproductive health policies have appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine, Science Advances, the American Journal of Public Health, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and the journal Contraception.  She translates her results into policy-relevant findings for non-academic audiences. For example, she regularly testifies on the demographic impacts of legislation, she developed an app to disseminate local impact estimates from her policy evaluation work, and her research has been cited by the United States Supreme Court, and in The New York Times, USA Today, The Los Angeles Times, The Austin-American Statesman, The Houston Chronicle, The Seattle Times, and other outlets.
Another line of research examines the social responses to reproductive health policies. In this project, she uses Twitter responses, website content, media coverage, and in-depth interviews to examine the social movement response to Texas' 2013 abortion restrictions. The case provides an opportunity to investigate how social movements negotiate intersectional critiques from within their ranks. She focuses on the role of emotions and relationships in transmitting intersectional framing and analyses to central actors and the ways in which elites' adoptions of intersectional rhetoric shifts power within a movement.

David Pyrooz received his PhD from Arizona State University in 2012 and joined the sociology faculty in 2015. He is interested why people violate laws, norms, and rules, what happens to them when they do, and ways to increase safety and justice in our communities. Most of his research is aimed at the criminology of social groups, particularly gangs. He studies how and why people organize themselves into groups, the criminal and non-criminal consequences of these groups for individuals and communities, and the legal and non-governmental responses to them. He has been the principal or co-principal investigator on $4.5m in funding from private or government agencies to conduct basic and applied research (see below). His current research projects involve advancing the science of gang intervention in the Denver area and beyond. He has authored or edited six books, including On Gangs (Temple University Press, 2022) and Competing for Control: Gangs and the Social Order of Prisons (Cambridge University Press, 2019), the latter of which received the Outstanding Book Award from the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences. He has written opinion editorials that have appeared in outlets such as the Denver Post, Los Angeles Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post. In 2016 he received the Ruth Shonle Cavan Young Scholar Award from the American Society of Criminology. He serves on the editorial boards of eight refereed journals, including Criminology, as well as a board member for the Institute of Behavioral Science.
