Dr Megan Arnot

I am a lecturer in Evolutionary Anthropology at University College London, with a PhD in Biological Anthropology. My research thus far has focussed on menopause, specifically menopause symptoms and management, why women go through menopause from an evolutionary perspective, and also how women behave following menopause. I also research and have an interest in decisions related to fertility (i.e., why some people choose to not have children), behavioural responses to a skewed sex ratio (especially those relating to domestic violence), and broadly anything within the field of human behavioural ecology. I have authored over 10 peer reviewed publications, and have appeared on BBC World News, BBC Radio 4, TalkRadio Women's Hour, and multiple other radio stations and podcasts.
