Join us for our first Nutrition and Global Health Seminar of the year!
We are excited to welcome our own Dr. Wafaie Fawzi and Dr. Christopher Duggan as they discuss “Advancing Global Progress in Child and Adolescent Nutrition under Current Budgetary Constraints.”
Children and adolescents face a “double burden” of undernutrition and obesity with life-long consequences. Wafaie Fawzi will explore the interconnected pathways through which the double burden manifests in the lives of adolescents and young people and explore potential interventions drawing on evidence from diverse global contexts. Christopher Duggan will review how numerous advances in child health have depended on global collaborations and discuss ways how we as a community can respond to recent federal policies and budget constraints.
Speakers’ remarks are based on their own scholarship and experience. As such, they speak for themselves, not for Harvard.
