Professor Jonathan KaplanPhilosophy ProgramSchool of History, Philosophy, and ReligionJonathan.Kaplan@oregonstate.edu

Research Areas:• Philosophy of Biology• Social/Political Philosophy• Philosophy of Medicine

Research Interests: Causes of Cases versus Causes of Incidence

Social Determinants of Health• Psychosocial stress: individual versus social responses• Inequality as a source of stress and other harms• Racial and other health disparities as the embodiment of social harms

Human Behavior Genetics• What accounts for variation within a population versus between

populations? • Why do we focus on some kinds of traits rather than others?

(assumptions about normality, etc)

Mactaquac Generation StationSignificant expansion due to ASR

~$7 million per year spent on efforts to reduce the

ill-effects of ASR

Intake StructureGrown vertically by 9 inches (~230 mm)

Removed 24 inches (610 mm) of concrete by slot

cutting

~120 to 150 microstrain/year of

unrestrained expansion

Service Life - ~150 years, will last ½ or less

2030 – Complete replacement ????

Experimental Research

• Visual inspection• Quantify length and volume

change• Analytical tools:

– Microscopy– Pore solution expression– Solution analysis– Isothermal calorimetry

• Statistical methods• Translate results into test

methods, specifications, reports and journal articles

Current StudentsResearch Opportunities• As a veterinary gynecologist, the majority of my

research focuses on reproductive problems in domestic animals

• As a veterinarian, I am also interested in all kinds of clinical problems from cancer prevention in pets to exotic animal nutrition

• And as a comparative reproductive physiologist, I am interested in using naturally-occurring animal models to study human diseases with the overall goal of improving the health for both animals and humans
