Location: Center for the Education of Women
Organized By: CEW+

Presenter: Cindy Leung, ScD, MPH, Assistant Professor, Department of Nutritional Sciences, University of Michigan School of Public Health

During this workshop, attendees will follow Dr. Cindy Leung’s trajectory in public health. Exploring her early work in local food banks with food-insecure populations and her scientific research on the effectiveness of our federal food programs, attendees will then discuss her present-day qualitative research to better understand the lived experiences of food-insecure individuals. Participants will learn about populations affected by food insecurity, including low-income families and college students.

To wrap up the session, attendees will learn how all of this information is being used to design programs and affect future policies to benefit food-insecure populations. A hands-on wellness activity will be presented by the CEW+ Inspire team to complement this workshop.

The discussion will be followed by a networking reception.

Free and open to the public. RSVP on our website: cew.umich.edu

Friends of the Campus Farm (FCF) is a student group that heads to the farm twice a week to volunteer (and enjoy freshly harvested treats!). Once a month, on second Fridays, SLE collaborates with FCF to arrange a volunteer pick up at Oxford Houses outside the Vandenberg Community Center. Sign up by Wednesday to make sure they send enough cars for everyone! During the winter the group works indoors in the greenhouse or hoophouses. If you love FCF, join their other Friday and Wednesday workdays each week--pick up is usually at the Ginsberg Community Center located at E. University and Hill.

This paper presents some of the first results of the project *Rethinking Roman Nutrition: Assessing the nutritional biochemistry and stable isotope chemistry of archaeobotanical cereals and pulses from Roman Egypt,* a collaboration between the Free University Brussels and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. The project aims to obtain nutritional data from ancient seeds so as to establish a baseline for nutritional values of food in antiquity as there is overwhelming evidence that modern data are not representative for the past.

Location: Towsley Center for Cont. Med Ed
Organized By: Michigan Lifestage Environmental Exposures and Disease Center

*Please register by going to http://mleead.umich.edu/Event_Climate_Change_and_Health_2020.php*

Our climate is our planet’s life support system. Climate change influences human health and disease in numerous ways, including impacts from increased extreme weather events, wildfire, decreased air quality, and illnesses transmitted by food, water, and disease carriers such as mosquitoes and ticks. As described in the Lancet Countdown report, some existing health threats will intensify and new health threats will emerge. Not everyone is equally at risk, and children are especially at risk. Preventive and adaptive actions are needed.

The keynote speaker is an emergency medicine physician who co-authored the U.S. portion of the Lancet Countdown report and Health and Care Delivery in the New England Journal of Medicine. A panel of experts will present solutions from a variety of other universities who are reducing their carbon footprint in response to the urgent public health need.

Welcome: Joseph C. Kolars, MD, Senior Associate Dean for Education and Global Initiatives, UM Medical School

Keynote: "Climate Action: Children’s Health Drives Need for Urgent Action" Renee N. Salas, MD, MPH, MS, Clinical Instructor of Emergency Medicine, Harvard Medical School and emergency medicine physician, Massachusetts General Hospital

Schedule
11:00-11:45 am | Registration outside of Dow Auditorium, Towsley Center for Continuing Medical Education, Michigan Medicine

Food Literacy for All is a community-academic partnership course started in 2017. Structured as an evening lecture series, Food Literacy for All features different guest speakers each week to address challenges and opportunities of diverse food systems. The course is designed to prioritize engaged scholarship that connects theory and practice. By bringing national and global leaders, we aim to ignite new conversations and deepen existing commitments to building more equitable, health-promoting, and ecologically sustainable food systems.

The course is co-led by Cindy Leung (School of Public Health), Jerry Ann Hebron (Oakland Ave. Farm) and Lilly Fink Shapiro (Sustainable Food Systems Initiative). In partnership with Detroit Food Policy Council and FoodLab Detroit.
