What people are saying.

“[Dr. Bantham] has been critical in our work around nutrition education, recess, and outdoor physical activity time during after school. She has collaborated with school and community partners to get the Somerville community more active and continues to work closely with these partners to find new ways to keep Somerville active.”

— Caitlin Kelly, District Wellness Coordinator, Somerville, MA

“Dr. Bantham's forward-thinking research is exactly what we need right now.  For too long, the medical and fitness communities have been chugging along on parallel but distant tracks, seeking similar public health goals but failing to coordinate their efforts.  Her research offers us a practical road map to increase activity levels and dramatically - and cost-effectively - improve public health by aligning the expertise of two disciplines with complementary objectives.”

— Mark Daly, former Public Affairs Director, Anytime Fitness
