Testimonials

“NUTRITION 2018 was my first ASN conference, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. There was so much going on and I was engaged from the morning to the evening each day. There was something for everyone! As an early career researcher, there were many opportunities to network and learn about career development, and I came away feeling confident and inspired”.

Jasmine Plows, PhD,

University of Southern California

“Nutrition 2018 was one of the best conferences I’ve attended. The topics covered and speakers involved were both relevant and at the cutting edge of nutrition research. The opportunities to network with others in our field (and related fields) has proven invaluable in furthering my research and my career. I can’t recommend Nutrition 2018 enough!”
