Emeritus Professor A. J. "Tony" McMichael (1942-2014) was an internationally renowned and pioneering Australian academic and advocate in epidemiology, who was passionate about understanding the influences of the environment on human health. In an illustrious career spanning more than four decades, he made significant contributions to the scientific community and policy discourse-including ground-breaking research related to the health of children. McMichael was a prolific academic writer with over 300 peer-reviewed papers; 160 book chapters and two sole-authored books. However, his outstanding talent was for integrating complex and seemingly unrelated strands from the environmental and health sciences into a cohesive narrative-and highlighting its relevance to lay persons, scientists and governments alike. He was instrumental in validating this nascent field of research and inspiring many others to follow his lead.
名誉教授A. J. “托尼”·麦克迈克尔（1942 - 2014）是一位国际知名的澳大利亚流行病学先驱学者及倡导者，他热衷于了解环境对人类健康的影响。在跨越四十多年的辉煌职业生涯中，他为科学界和政策讨论做出了重大贡献，包括与儿童健康相关的开创性研究。麦克迈克尔是一位多产的学术作家，发表了300多篇同行评议论文、160章书籍章节以及两本独著书籍。然而，他的杰出才华在于将环境科学和健康科学中复杂且看似不相关的线索整合为一个连贯的叙述，并强调其对普通大众、科学家和政府的相关性。他在验证这个新兴研究领域方面发挥了重要作用，并激励许多人追随他的脚步。
