Beyond Bouncing Back: Identity, stigma, and workplace resilience with Dr. Danielle King
Season 2 · Episode 3
Tuesday, November 25, 2025 • Duration 40:41
In the midst of this season of gratitude, I feel especially grateful to be able to share this episode with you featuring Dr. Danielle King and focusing on the meaning and measurement of resilience. Our conversation focused primarily on resilience in the workplace and how stigma, chronic stress, and systemic factors shape the opportunity for resilience - drawing from her recent paper in American Psychologist outlining a stigma-conscious framework for resilience. Throughout this conversation, Dr. King also explained the limitations of trait-based definitions of resilience, emphasizing the importance of dynamic and context-sensitive measurement.
Dr. Danielle King is an Associate Professor of Organizational Psychology and the Associate Dean of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies at Rice University. She is the founder and principal investigator of the WorKing Resilience Research Laboratory. Her research and teaching portfolios focus on promoting motivation, leadership, resilience, thriving, voice, and belonging. Her research is frequently published in top journals like American Psychologist and popular media outlets including Harvard Business Review. Dr. King's research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, including a prestigious 5-year NSF Career Award, which is designated for scholars who serve as role models and leaders in research and education by advancing science for the betterment of society. She has also received some of the top awards in the field from both APA and APS.

Stress Beyond the Individual: The physiological cost of caring with Dr. Tené Lewis
Season 1 · Episode 6
Tuesday, December 10, 2024 • Duration 36:34
Welcome back to the Stress Puzzle! This is the second of two episodes highlighting winners of the Stress Measurement Network's (SMN) Stress Science Paper Award. Today we'll hear from the lead author of the winning paper in the Human Empirical/Clinical category, Dr. Tené Lewis. We discussed the findings of their paper, which highlights the importance of stress experienced by close loved ones (e.g., family, friends) for African-American women's cardiovascular health. We also chatted about the strength of her team's methodology, how they disseminate the research to women who participated in their study, and the importance of these findings for conversations around self-care, care work (whether formal or informal), and the enormous responsibility that falls to women who end up as the social safety net.
Dr. Tené Lewis is a Professor in the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University where she studies health psychology and psychosocial epidemiology with an emphasis on cardiovascular health in women. Much of her research investigates the psychological and social factors underlying cardiovascular health disparities for African-American women compared to women of other racial or ethnic groups. Dr. Lewis' research has been honored by the Health Psychology Division of the American Psychological Association, as well as the recently renamed Society for Biopsychosocial Science and Medicine.

Welcome back to the Stress Puzzle! This is the first of two episodes highlighting winners of the Stress Measurement Network's (SMN) Stress Science Paper Award. Today we'll hear from the lead author of the winning paper in the Basic Science category, Dr. Natalia Bobba-Alves. We discussed the findings and implications of their paper (particularly around hypermetabolism, chronic stress, and accelerated cellular aging), directions to move the field forward, and how exciting of a moment it is for interdisciplinary stress science.
Dr. Natalia Bobba-Alves is a Postdoctoral Researcher working at the National Institute on Aging where she focuses on how stress signaling affects cellular energetics and aging. She received numerous awards that supported both her undergraduate and master's degrees in Uruguay, and then was awarded a Fulbright Foreign Grant, which supported her PhD in Nutritional and Metabolic Biology at Columbia University in New York. There she worked with Dr. Martin Picard in the Mitochondrial PsychoBiology Lab to quantify the energetic cost of stress and the impact on cellular aging.

Primate Politics: Intergenerational and experimental evidence with Dr. Jenny Tung
Season 1 · Episode 4
Tuesday, November 26, 2024 • Duration 23:59
Welcome back to the Stress Puzzle! I had the joy of speaking with Dr. Jenny Tung, an evolutionary anthropologist and geneticist who discusses her intergenerational and experimental research showing how the social environment affects health and lifespan in non-human primates. She shared about her creative methods to experiment with social hierarchies and the special experience of collaborating with the other women who have led the Amboseli Baboon Research Project in Kenya. For more on human hierarchies and health, check out our last episode with Dr. Michael Marmot.
Dr. Jenny Tung is the Director of the Department of Primate Behavior and Evolution at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany and a Professor of Evolutionary Anthropology and Biology at Duke University. She co-directs the Amboseli Baboon Research Project, which started in 1971 and is one of the longest running primate field sites in the world located in Kenya. Dr. Tung investigates the genetic and genomic consequences of social environments in baboons, rhesus macaques, and other social mammals. She has advanced the science on social determinants of health by adding DNA analyses to the decades of behavioral observations in baboons to advance lifespan understanding of social influences on health. She has also combined these lifespan studies with creative experimental methods that provide greater causal evidence for the impact of the social environment and on health. Dr. Tung was named a MacArthur Fellow in 2019 for the depth and translational importance of her research. Learn more about Dr. Tung's research: http://www.tung-lab.org/
Topics Discussed:
