What do you feel separates you from the rest of the professionals in your industry?:
I was the first physical anthropologist to study menopause in India in rural populations of Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh from 1969 to 1970. I was able to train four master of arts students from the university of Delhi in anthropological field work and conducted the first cross-cultural analysis of menopause, comparing these women's attitudes, beliefs and behaviors to that of American women's, concerning menopause symptomatologies. I continued to study menopause cross-culturally for over 30 years and served as a mentor for other physical anthropologists who have studied menopause cross-culturally.
What has been the most outstanding thing you have done thus far in your career?:
My greatest achievement was being awarded a senior research fellowship for southeast Asia that allowed me to live in Indonesia from 1985 to 1986. I trained newly graduated medical doctors in obstetrics and gynecology from the University of Indonesia's medical school in field work methodology and the study of menopause in Javanese and Sumatran women. They, in turn, were able to train other physicians.
