Come join us in the fields to lose track of time, be outdoors, practice embodied work, and experience profound community with plants, soil, and humans! Our students, volunteers, and staff consistently say that their most memorable memories at DCF are the conversations they shared over a wheelbarrow of mulch or while tackling weeds in a bed of carrots together. Absolutely no farming experience is necessary, and there is no Duke affiliation required. We have tasks for most ages and abilities.
Dr. Marshall is broadly interested in the neurobiological mechanisms that contribute to alcohol abuse. The nature of these interests has led to the Marshall lab using pharmacologic, molecular, and behavioral techniques to find novel therapeutic targets to curb alcohol misuse. His main focus is on the effects that dysregulation of glia and cytokines have on brain damage and addiction.
