One of the nicest lactation rooms I’ve seen at the SAV airport. Well done 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

A butterfly visited me in the garage today while I was lifting. Spouse says it means I’m gonna be queen or some such. 🦋

Students in this cohort started at DGHI the same semester I started my new job at Duke… this means so much because they nominated me. I have such big love for them all and will miss them. 💗

Last year, Duke celebrated newly tenured and promoted faculty by allowing us to select a book to add a personalized nameplate to. I dedicated mine to Nina Etkin. #anthrosky #ethnobotany 🌱 🧪
A photo of a library dedication and bookplate. It reads: Selected title, “Edible Medicines- An Ethnopharmacology of Food, by Nina L. Etkin. Personal statement: “Nina L. Etkin was my doctoral mentor, who both inspired and nurtured my love of medical anthropology and ethnobotany. Her tremendous contributions to the field, including this book, fueled my own desire to pursue similarly rigorous and ethnographically informed work. I’ve returned to it countless times over the years. She was the first to conceptualize ‘food as medicine, medicine as food’ anthropologically. I am forever indebted to Nina for her mentorship and my success in academia.” Newly Tenured & Promoted Faculty Aunchalee E.L. Palmquist, Associate Professor of the Practice of Global Health, Global Health Institute, 2024, Duke University Libraries A photo of the cover of the book, “Edible Medicines: An Ethnopharmacology of Food,” by Nina L. Etkin. The cover features a black and white photo of Nina and her colleague, a Nigerian scientist, drying plant vouchers in baskets.
