ASN is proud to introduce Fireside Chats with the ASN President, Dr. Sarah L. Booth, Director of the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University (HNRCA) and Senior Scientist and Leader of the Vitamin K Team at the HNRCA. A series of Fireside Chats will feature Dr. Booth interviewing influential leaders in nutrition to spark additional multisector, interdisciplinary conversations and ideas that advance the field of nutrition science in innovative ways among audience participants. Attendees will have the opportunity to submit questions for the interviews after they register to attend. 

The first Fireside Chat on Monday, November 4th at 4:00 PM ET will feature Cathie Woteki, President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) member, Drew Bremer, Director of the NIH Office of Nutrition Research, and Pamela Starke-Reed, USDA ARS Deputy Administrator of Nutrition and Food Safety/Quality, as well as Dr. Booth, to discuss the recent PCAST report, “A Vision for Advancing Nutrition Science in the United States.” The panel will focus on one of the goals of the report, to enhance coordination of federal interagency efforts and actions to reduce the burden of diet-related chronic disease that will maintain momentum toward the President’s goal.

Future Fireside Chats will focus on Advancing the Science of Food as/is Medicine and FDA’s Human Nutrition Program Reorganization and New Nutrition Center of Excellence, and What They Mean for the Food System.
