Testimonials
Marjorie Aelion
C. Marjorie Aelion, 2018-2019 Fulbright Global Scholar Award Recipient (Australia, Greece and Mexico)
Associate Vice Chancellor for Research & Engagement, Professor of Environmental Health Sciences, The University of Massachusetts Amherst
"...I thoroughly enjoyed my months in Athens as a visiting professor at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, and look forward to future research collaborations. In the future I hope to have the opportunity to host Greek faculty and students who may visit the north eastern USA."
Marjorie's research focused on the association between environmental contaminants and human health, in particular that of neurotoxic metals in soil and intellectual disability in children. Dr. Aelion collaborated with faculty at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens during her Fulbright. Colleagues and the scholar examined the distribution of metals in soils and household dust, and factors affecting their bioaccessibility, and on chromium contamination and its impacts in select Mediterranean surface water and groundwater. Neurotoxic metals pose a particular risk to vulnerable populations including pregnant women and children. Understanding the potential health impacts of environmental contamination can lead to important interventions that protect these populations and improve population health outcomes.
