Ted Greiner worked as expert in nutrition in various countries, but mainly for Sida, Government of Sweden, working also as Professor of International Child Health at Uppsala University. During his long career, he worked as a consultant to development assistance- and UN-agencies in many developing countries, including a few times in Brazil. He was Professor of Nutrition for 7 years in South Korea. He has published over 200 papers in scientific journals or books, mainly on his areas of research expertise, which are at public health levels, including infant feeding and food-based approaches to combat micronutrient deficiencies.
During a visit to Olinda (the hometown of his wife, Denise Arcoverde) in 2012, he found some sea glass and this initiated his interest in beachcombing. He did this intensively over the following years in several countries, but mainly in Olinda after retiring there in 2015. His curiosity about the provenance of the things one can find on Olinda’s beaches helped inspire the present project.
Ted has one son living in Sweden, one in the USA, and four grandchildren.
