Rome 2009. That's the last time I was there to interview a number of Italian collaborators of Ancel Keys. I'm returning in just over a week -- looking forward to doing follow-up and new interviews with researchers who worked with Keys on the Seven Countries Study (SCS). Then it's on to Crete, where researchers continue to collect data on the oldest participating "survivors" of the SCS. I'll be talking to a few of these octogenarians and nonagenarians as well to discover the secret to a long life. Will it be "consume lots of green leafy vegetables, legumes, olive oil and red wine"? Stay tuned. . .
Cool! How long is your trip? Thanks for this blog, will follow!
ReplyDeleteDear ADA, Looking forward to a busy three weeks in Italy and Greece. I'll be a sort of tumbleweed, rolling from Florence south to Pioppi, interviewing different researchers along the way, then to Heraklion and Athens, and finally back to Rome and home. Getting excited about the opportunity to talk to more people who knew Keys.
