The University of Alberta Canadian Obesity Network Students and New Professionals (CON-SNP) group are hosting their inaugural journal club meeting on Tuesday October 26th at 12.05-12.50 in the Tory building, room 109.
The journal club provides a place where people can meet to discuss obesity related research/current issues. If you are interested in attending just read the articles listed below, bring your lunch and show up on the 26th.
The topic for this journal club will be social & economic perspectives on the obesity ‘epidemic’. There are two very short articles for discussion which you can find attached:
Sturm, R. (2008). Stemming the global obesity epidemic: What can we learn from data about social and economic trends? Public Health; 122, 739-746.
Prentice, A.M., & Jebb, S.A. (1995). Obesity in Britain: Gluttony or sloth? BMJ; 311, 437-439. Available at: http://www.bmj.com.login.ezproxy.library.ualberta.ca/content/311/7002/437.full
