The sustained effort to witness and participate in the targeted translation of nutritional science and policy forms the structure of this narrative. The memoir starts with an early career-directing experience with nutrition and cholera and proceeds with a long thread of interest in folic acid malabsorption as one of the determinants of nutritional anemia in Asia and the tropics. The thread continues with the relationship of folate and associated vitamins to brain function and aging as a prototype of the study of the interface of aging biology and nutritional biology. My current interest in world hunger and famine and their impact on human security may circle back to studies of the great Bengal famine and the first Bangladesh survey of malnutrition.
见证并参与营养科学与政策的针对性翻译工作所付出的持续努力构成了本文叙述的架构。这本回忆录开篇讲述了早年在营养与霍乱方面的职业指导经历，接着围绕叶酸吸收不良展开了一条长长的兴趣线，叶酸吸收不良是亚洲和热带地区营养性贫血的决定因素之一。这条兴趣线延续到叶酸及相关维生素与脑功能和衰老的关系，以此作为衰老生物学与营养生物学交叉研究的一个范例。我目前对世界饥饿与饥荒及其对人类安全影响的关注，或许可以追溯到对孟加拉大饥荒以及孟加拉国首次营养不良调查的研究。
