Deborah Wallace is an ecologist who pioneered the transfer of ecosystem analytical approaches to social epidemiology and health inequality.Rodrick Wallace is a research scientist in epidemiology at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. He is well-known for modeling cognitive processes ranging from cellular-level immunity up to national economies and to decision-making in large institutions.
