Researcher granted $1.2M to study effects of Vietnam War on human aging
For University of Utah sociology Prof. Kim Korinek, another key figure in the study, the project will be a way to measure the effects of war on those who may not have had direct contact with the conflict -- an area, she said, that's gone largely unstudied.
"I don't think that studies have paid enough attention to those on the margins of these conflicts, but they have been affected," Korinek, director of the university's Asia Centre, said in a recent interview.
