Bridging Science with the Community

Tonight the Texas Research and Obesity Center will host the final series of Science and Community Opportunity Reception. The Houston DINEs team will speak at the reception about our campaign and the importance of working together to help end obesity. The event takes place tonight from 5:30-7:30pm at the University of Houston’s M.D. Anderson Library in the Pavilion Area (3855 Holman Road, Houston, TX 77004).

The series is led by Dr. Rebecca Lee who is an expert in obesity in the city of Houston. This project seeks to reduce and prevent obesity among members of the African American and Hispanic or Latino communities by capitalizing on unique opportunities presented in the City of Houston. The Texas Research and Obesity Center needs your help with the following:

• Developing partnerships between the community and our scientists

• Determining a collaborative agenda

• Educating each other about health in our community

• Evaluating the success of Science and Community
