Jill Tolman (M.A., Physical Anthropology) XRF Laboratory Clinical Coordinator
Jill was responsible for recruitment and follow-up of participants in the LXRF study. Our Word and Reference Manager expert, Jill constructed, validated and maintained our citation database and performed all reference retrieval and literature searches and produced literature summaries. She was also the guinea pig for new software obtained to satisfy Dr. Todd’s addiction. She was in the initial stages of data analysis for some of the completed XRF projects and had completed training to perform XRF measurements when she departed. Jill had recently completed the development and preparation of the laboratory’s Standard Operating Procedures and Instruction/Training Manuals for use both by our laboratory staff and by our collaborators. She also prepared correspondence and documents in connection with all projects, both current and under development. In addition to extensive telephone work to obtain information required by all laboratory staff, she prepared manuscripts and other presentation materials for internal and external presentation. Jill also had expertise in study coordination and recruitment and in administering the neurobehavioral measurements used in many of our studies to assess the health effects of lead, having previously performed all these tasks for one of our collaborative studies ("Lead Mobilization, Neurologic Dysfunction and Surgical Menopause").

Jill completed her M.A in Physical Anthropology at Columbia University with a concentration on primate behavior and ecology.

Since her departure, Jill has continued to work on some of the lab's projects, in her own time, for which we are very grateful.
