Food-related research was on the plate at a Harvard-wide symposium in late February. The Harvard Food+ Research Symposium, hosted by the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs, the Harvard Kennedy School Sustainable Science Program, and the Harvard Center for the Environment, featured 22 faculty speakers from eight schools—including four from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
Harvard Chan speakers at the event included Elsie Sunderland; associate professor of environmental science and engineering in the Department of Environmental Health; David Ludwig, professor in the Department of Nutrition; Samuel Myers, senior research scientist in the Department of Environmental Health; and Walter Willett, Fredrick John Stare Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition and chair of the Department of Nutrition.
