nutrition4society
As part of the remit to disseminate nutrition science to the public, the Society now produces a short magazine which is given out at public events such as the British Science Festival and the Society’s own public engagement meeting run during the Summer meeting week.
The pilot edition of the magazine (under The Gazette banner) was published in July 2008, and the first edition of ‘nutrition4society’ was published in June 2009.
You can download both magazines by clicking the links below. If you have any suggestions for the next edition, or if you wish to contribute, please email Sarah James (s.james@nutsoc.org.uk) – we would be delighted to hear from you.
