Dr Sam McKenzie's research interests are behaviour and welfare and women's health, including the needs of mid-age and older women, their chronic conditions, mental health, service use, and caring responsibilities. Dr Sam McKenzie is the School of Population Health’s lecturer and course coordinator of PUBH7630 Introduction to Biostatistics. Sam has previously worked on the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health, which is one of SPH’s largest longitudinal studies with over 40,000 women. Sam’s background is varied and includes work in animal behaviour and welfare, human psychology and statistics. She completed a Master of Arts (Honours) and PhD at the University of New England in Australia. Her PhD topic was on grass-eating behaviour in dogs – a subject that has been widely discussed. At UNE, she co-coordinated Research Methods and Statistics course in the Psychology Department and assisted with eleven other units in the School. Sam wants to make biostats fun for the students, or at least, less painful. Her stats motto is from the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: “Don’t Panic.”
