Thanks to those of you who attended the first Coles Science Salon with speaker Amy Bentley, Associate Professor in the department of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health. Professor Bentley’s talk, “Booming Baby Food: Infant Food and Feeding in Post World War II America,” drew a crowd of 29 students, faculty, and other members of the NYU community. From 5-6pm on Thursday, February 8th, we mingled, we nibbled on grownup food, and we learned about the evolution of prepackaged baby food.
Special thanks to Michael Stoller and Kara Whatley for their support of the event, and to Amy Bentley for presenting her fascinating research.
We look forward to seeing you at the next Coles Science Salon!
