Dr. Willett is a Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition at Harvard T.H.

In the past few years\, he has been the co-chair of the EATLancet Commission\, a collection of 37 world-leading scientists investigating how to feed the future global population of 10 billion people the healthiest diet within planetary boundaries. The resulting EATLancet report and the planetary health diet that it promotes are redefining the scope and perception of what nutrition and sustainable food systems will look like in the coming years. This conversation will touch upon how he has achieved success in past endeavors\, such as leading the ban on the use of trans fats\, and how the next generation can navigate creating change despite the presence of strong contradictory stakeholders. The fireside chat will be followed by a Q&A with Dr. Willett and time to connect with other individuals passionate about food\, sustainability\, and health. \n\n\nPlease RSVP by March 25th for catering purposes. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Unleash your potential at Harvard Chan School. \n In addition to our degree programs\, we offer highly targeted programs through our Advanced Learning Academy\, directed and taught by Harvard faculty. \n \n \n \n Degree Programs \n \n \n \n How to Apply \n \n \n \n Advanced Learning Academy URL:https://hsph.harvard.edu/events/a-fireside-chat-with-dr-walter-willett-sustainable-food-and-creating-effective-change/ LOCATION:Kresge Building END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240328T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240328T140000 DTSTAMP:20260513T231146 CREATED:20240313T143313Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241122T043254Z UID:111360003907-1711630800-1711634400@hsph.harvard.edu SUMMARY:CCDD ID Epi Seminar Series DESCRIPTION:Home / Kresge Building\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKresge Building\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTime \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Type \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTalk title: Living in a Parallel Universe?

Her research lies at the intersection of policy evaluation and modeling\, developing novel methods to assess real-world program impact and using resulting estimates to inform future projections. She will discuss pitfalls of popular “difference-in-differences” analyses with infectious disease outcomes and propose alternatives informed by transmission dynamic theory. Outside of work\, she enjoys powerlifting and all-day baking projects. \n\n\nAbout the series: Each spring\, CCDD hosts an annual seminar series featuring talks from experts on the latest research in infectious disease epidemiology and modeling. The ID Epi Seminar Series aims to bring in speakers from various disciplines within infectious disease epidemiology\, broadly defined to include the population biology of pathogens and other allied topics. Seminars will be held on Thursdays\, unless otherwise noted\, at 1pm ET between February 2nd and May 9th with the exception of March 14th (spring break). \n\n\nRegister for the seminar here. hsph.me/idepi24 \n\n\nSpeakers will share their own perspectives; they do not speak for Harvard. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Unleash your potential at Harvard Chan School. \n In addition to our degree programs\, we offer highly targeted programs through our Advanced Learning Academy\, directed and taught by Harvard faculty. \n \n \n \n Degree Programs \n \n \n \n How to Apply \n \n \n \n Advanced Learning Academy URL:https://hsph.harvard.edu/events/ccdd-id-epi-seminar-series-27/ LOCATION:Kresge Building ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hsph.harvard.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/0328-hsph_cal.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240328T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240328T140000 DTSTAMP:20260513T231146 CREATED:20240130T202826Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241122T043037Z UID:111360003835-1711630800-1711634400@hsph.harvard.edu SUMMARY:General Body Meeting - March 2024 DESCRIPTION:Home / Kresge Building\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKresge Building\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTime \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Type \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Harvard Chan Student Association (HCSA) Officers for a general body meeting\, hear updates on HCSA work\, bring your concerns or suggestion to the officer board. \n\n\nA light lunch will be provided. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Unleash your potential at Harvard Chan School. \n In addition to our degree programs\, we offer highly targeted programs through our Advanced Learning Academy\, directed and taught by Harvard faculty. \n \n \n \n Degree Programs \n \n \n \n How to Apply \n \n \n \n Advanced Learning Academy URL:https://hsph.harvard.edu/events/general-body-meeting-march-2024/ LOCATION:Kresge Building ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hsph.harvard.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/2024.03.28_hcsa_gbm_hsph_calendar.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240328T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240328T135000 DTSTAMP:20260513T231146 CREATED:20240312T213012Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241122T043250Z UID:111360003905-1711630800-1711633800@hsph.harvard.edu SUMMARY:How Leaders Communicate Effectively and Build Trust DESCRIPTION:Home / Kresge Building\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKresge Building\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTime \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Type \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Christine Heenan\, Executive Partner and Chief Communications Officer at Flagship Pioneering\, for a discussion of the techniques that executive communicators use to build trust. \n\n\nLunch will be served. \n\n\nThis event is presented in collaboration with the Stanford Health Equity Media Fellowship and the Harvard Chan Health Communication Concentration. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Unleash your potential at Harvard Chan School. \n In addition to our degree programs\, we offer highly targeted programs through our Advanced Learning Academy\, directed and taught by Harvard faculty. \n \n \n \n Degree Programs \n \n \n \n How to Apply \n \n \n \n Advanced Learning Academy URL:https://hsph.harvard.edu/events/how-leaders-communicate-effectively-and-build-trust/ LOCATION:Kresge Building ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hsph.harvard.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Christine-Heenan-2.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240328T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240328T135000 DTSTAMP:20260513T231146 CREATED:20231226T182236Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241122T042954Z UID:111360003811-1711630800-1711633800@hsph.harvard.edu SUMMARY:Drop-in Mindfulness Session DESCRIPTION:Home / Kresge Building\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKresge Building\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTime \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Type \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin the Thich Nhat Hanh Center for Mindfulness in Public Health for a refreshing mindfulness practice on Thursday afternoon\, March 28th from 1 pm to 1:50 pm in Kresge\, Room 110. \n\nThe drop-in mindfulness sessions include sitting and walking meditations\, learning about mindfulness\, and practicing mindfulness to enhance our energy of ease and rest. \n\nThe practice will start at 1 pm and aim to end at 1:50 pm\, however\, you are permitted to come and go at any time. \n\n\nMindfulness and mindful living require no special equipment.
