In 1997, Dr. Acquavella published a paper entitled “The Politics of Identity in Epidemiology” (see Annals of Epidemiology 1997;7:431-433) in which he argued that judging epidemiologists or their research by their affiliation was a negative influence in epidemiology. He continues to work to develop opportunities for collaboration between industrial, government, and academic scientists. |
