WWN Health & Wellness Series - Food for Thought: Impact of Obesity and Diabetes on the Brain

Do you wonder about the effectiveness of different macronutrient diets on the body and particularly for weight loss? Despite the many options we have, we still don’t have clear guidance about them (low carb vs low fat vs Mediterranean) and not one diet has been found to be better than others for weight loss.

Please join us for an engaging conversation with Dr. Janice Hwang, Endocrinologist and Assistant Professor in the Division of Endocrinology at the Yale School of Medicine, to learn about the impact of macronutrients on the brain as well as her research.

There are many interesting and unresolved questions in this area, such as:

What is the role of “civility” in conversations on campus? Are calls for civility a weapon used by those who wish to silence certain voices, or is civility a necessary condition for productive discussion?
