Fellow Tufts Graduate Students:
We
hope that you will consider submitting an abstract for the fourth
annual student research conference at the Friedman school! The deadline
for abstract submission is
February 5th by 5pm. Relevant research
includes projects conducted for thesis work, internships, capstone
papers, and directed studies. Topics can include nutrition,
agriculture,
policy, public health, or any other topic related to food. Selected
applicants will be invited to give either oral or poster presentations.
Please visit the
conference web site for more information.
Last
year, nearly 150 students attended the full-day program to network,
gain feedback on research, and learn from the presentations of their
peers from 19 universities. This year's expert panel topic is
"Addressing the Global Obesity Epidemic; Poverty, Production and
Politics," and we are honored to have amazing panelists joining us for
what is sure to be a thought-provoking discussion. We hope that you
will help us build on last year's success by contributing your research
or attending the conference!
Best,
