Heather Farmer, PhD 🏳️‍🌈
@drheatherfarmer.bsky.social
Assistant Professor of HDFS at the University of Delaware. I study stress-related biopsychosocial mechanisms underlying health inequities across the life course.
I also decided to lean into my style and dyed my hair orange (my daughter’s inspiration).

This year, I have grown my lab and found my groove in terms of mentoring. I’m so proud of what I (and we) have accomplished so far and will continue to do.

I need to use this platform more often. Alas, I’m here. I’ve been soaking up all the fun fall moments in this final year before going up for tenure.

I wanna signal boost this - I am looking to recruit a prospective PhD student to join my Stress and Health Equity lab at the University of Delaware in HDFS. My research concerns biopsychosocial mechanisms of health across the life course with an emphasis on stress and coping.

I am excited to share that I’m looking to recruit a PhD student to join my Stress and Health Equity lab in Fall 2026. We are located in the HDFS department at the beautiful University of Delaware.

Feel free to share! ☺️

How’s everyone doing? I am tending to some areas that I had to get stitches on and also searching for my chemical romance tickets that are less than $200. I’m also still so happy from seeing my favs The Dollyrots on Friday with my kiddo!

Twyla wants you to have a great Friday. She says you can do this!

And because I can only (1) never post at all or (2) post multiple times consecutively…look at this sticker I got for my car at a punk rock flea market. I couldn’t not get it.

Kids are great. Even when they assume that movies were only in black and white when you were a kid.

Anyone have ideas for a fun in-class activity to reinforce course material on marriage and cohabitation?

My favorite thing is to see a dog unexpectedly. Even better when it’s a giant dog. Anyone else still call these dogs “Beethoven”? I texted my partner after seeing this beauty and said “I saw a Beethoven!!!”

Q (my toddler) is such a vibe. Today a security guard at Target said “have a good day!” on the way out of the store and he replied “no thanks”

I love dogs - specifically when they are clingy or do this

My kiddo got an award at school today for being the most responsible of all the kids in her class. Very much what one would expect from my kid. 😂😊💯🌈

I’m finally at a point past my surgery where I’m feeling more like myself and I’m so so glad.
