Testimonials:

  •  “We have attended all the webinars in this [Nutritional Epidemiology RIS Research Leader] series, with the exception of the first. I have been inviting our 20 or so graduate students in nutritional epidemiology and a few faculty members to listen together and then discuss the webinar afterwards, and this has worked very well. (We have 10-15 in attendance usually.) It is a great opportunity to hear a variety of talks and to interact with the speaker, and I think the format works very well. Thank you for your part in arranging these and bringing them to the larger community of nutritional epidemiologists.” - Pat Cassano, PhD, MPH, Director of Graduate Studies, Minor Field of Epidemiology Assoc Prof Nutritional Epidemiology, Division of Nutritional Sciences, Cornell University
