In April, the Education Committee will offer a series of four Tuesday afternoon lectures covering two different but important subjects: food and nutrition; and the recent Mars landing by NASA’s Perseverance Rover.
On April 6, Dr. Cristen Cupples Cooper, Founding Director and Chair of Nutrition and Dietetics in Pace University’s College of Health Professions, will lecture on the history of the U.S. food system and where the future of food may lie for the U.S.
On April 13, Mary Opfer, Registered Dietician and Clinical Assistant Professor at Pace University, will lecture on foods that are good for the mind and immunity (the Mediterranean Diet.)
On April 20 and 27, Matt Ganis, IBM professional and Pace University Professor of Astronomy and Computer Science, will discuss what we have learned since the Perseverance Rover touched down in the Red Planet’s Jezero Crater on February 18.
The course will run from 2 to 3 pm via Zoom. Interested? Please contact Fran Kelly
