The BU Superfund Basic Research Program, in conjunction with our community partner Greater Boston Physicians for Social Responsibility, is pleased to announce our new "Ask the Researcher" page, where Superfund researchers answer questions submitted by you, our readers and members of our community partner organizations.

This month, we'll be featuring Dr. Ann Aschengrau, an epidemiologist at the Boston University School of Public Health. Her current research looks at whether prenatal and childhood exposures to drinking water contaminated with tetrachloroethylene (PCE) have caused disease in adults living on Cape Cod. She will answer questions on childhood exposures and adult disease, on doing epidemiology, and on other issues pertaining to her research. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it for Dr. Aschengrau, read her answers starting in September, and check back in November when we feature Mark Hahn, a biologist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
