style="font-weight: bold;">I
am working on my senior thesis for my undergrad (I am studying biology
and applied math), and have decided to write about the biology of Agent
Orange and social injustice of herbicidal warfare. This is my third time
in Da Nang and I've met some incredible people on my trips, but I am
trying to find a biologist who has studied the effects of Agent Orange
in Da Nang. I work at the Red Cross orphanage, a social support center
by the bus stop, and two of the centers for victims of Agent Orange and I
have spent a bit of time at Peace Village in Tam Ky, but it has been
difficult for me to get information from those placements. I have
several questions about how the government declares that someone's
disability stems from dioxin as well as what the protocol is for care
once one has been stamped a victim of Agent Orange. I am also curious as
to how many of the children effected are ill from exposure in their own
lives (living in an area with a high concentration of dioxin in the
soil) or whether their disability is genetic and comes from the base
pair of their grandparents, etc. being mutated from high exposure. </span></span></div><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">
