LEONARDO AFTER HOURS PRESENTS: IS YOUR FOOD KILLING YOU?

Free! September 23rd

September 18, 2014
Today the Leonardo, in partnership with The Utah Science Technology and Research Initiative (USTAR) announced the next edition of Leonardo After Hours focusing on making healthy, better informed food choices:


Is Your Food Killing You: Navigating a Full Crop of What Food is Healthy, Toxic and Everything in Between features a dialogue between experts in various fields of nutrition, representatives from the food industry and members of our community.  With so many diets, recommendations on how to eat, what we eat, how and where food is grown and nutrition fads, it’s hard to distinguish the food news from food fat.  The goal of this discussion is to help us truly understand what is healthy vs. what is not.
 
Come prepared with your questions and comments.

The Utah Science Technology and Research initiative (USTAR) is a long-term, state-funded investment to strengthen Utah's "knowledge economy” and generate high-paying jobs. Funded in March 2006 by the State Legislature, USTAR is based on three program areas. The first area involves funding for strategic investments at the University of Utah and Utah State University to recruit world-class researchers. The second area is to build state-of-the-art interdisciplinary facilities at these institutions for the innovation teams. The third program area involves teams that work with companies and entrepreneurs across the State to promote science, innovation, and commercialization activities.
