Article Abstract:

Rebecca Huss-Ashmore, the Associate Curator-in-Charge of Penn Museum's Physical Anthropology Section, has traveled nearly full circle in her career, from biological anthropology, where she studied how people get sick, to studying how they get well. Huss-Ashmore is working with an interdisciplinary team on a National Institute of Mental Health-funded project that examines how culture creates old age.
