Silent Spring Institute Executive Director Quoted in Environmental Health News

Our sister organization, Silent Spring Institute, is quoted once again in an article about environmental links to disease!  This article, published in Environmental Health News today, discusses a cohort study of investigating diseases over time. These studies are significant not only in that they enable researchers to see how disease progresses throughout an individual’s life course, but how environmental exposures early on may have an effect on disease expressed later in life. Silent Spring Institute Executive Director, Julia Brody says, “It’s so helpful to have both measurements collected years ago and the potential to follow people for a long time to see what happens.”
