CRN welcomes scholars program awardees to Science in Session
CRN is excited to welcome Jennifer Bapton, MS, RDN, Alexa Barad, MS, RD, Inah Gu, MS, Md. Sakhawot Hossain, and Kingsley Kalu to Science in Session today! As recipients of CRN and the American Society for Nutrition Foundation’s (ASNF) Scholars Program (CASP) educational award, these ASN student members have received complimentary registration to virtually attend this year’s annual scientific symposium.
Why it matters: “As ASN student members represent the future leaders and influencers in nutrition, we welcome new opportunities that encourage and support students seeking further education and careers in this field," said Keith Dillon, chief engagement officer and vice president, ASN Foundation, in Nutraceuticals World.
“As more Americans continue to rely on registered dietitians or nutritionists as reliable sources of information on dietary supplements, we recognize the importance of increasing access to reputable, educational resources for the future of nutrition professionals," said CRN's Andrea Wong, Ph.D.
Committed to the future: Since 2008, CRN has also provided ASNF with annual education awards for nutrition researchers through the Mary Swartz Rose Awards.
