About this Event
In her presentation, Dr. Johnson will discuss her research on introducing food to babies and the relationship between food related language and acceptance. Put your baby food knowledge to the test with our fun food tasting.
Dr. Johnson, Professor of Pediatrics, is the Nutrition Discipline Director for the JFK Partners' Leadership in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (LEND) Grant. She performs research in the area of nutrition and child feeding in children with disabilities; mentors fellows and students interested in this area; and provides continuing education related to the role of nutrition as one of the content areas of multidisciplinary care for children and families with disabilities. She serves as the Principal Investigator for the The Children's Eating Lab (cuanschutz.edu) (CEL) which conducts studies on the factors that influence the development of children's eating behaviors and growth. Most studies conducted at the CEL focus on families with children birth to five years of age.
The Aurora History Museum's Summer 2024 Speaker Series aims to share some of the research happening in our backyard with the community. CU Anschutz is a leading center for medical research, and is in Aurora! Come to these free talks to learn about relevant medical advances. These presentations are made for the general public; you don't need to know anything about science or medicine to learn something new here.
Arrive early to check out our exhibits on Aurora's History and Nepali Culture.
