The Good Fat: Understanding Adipogenesis and Function of Brown Fat<https://ams.nyas.org/nyasssa/ecmssamsganalytics.click_through?p_mail_id=E186723A6033903B1C43790>
This conference is aimed at presenting recent developments in the field of adipogenesis research. Animal studies suggest that Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT) levels are associated with diet-induced obesity and the effects of aging. This symposium will explore the origin of BAT, how White Adipose Tissue (WAT) may be converted into BAT-like tissue, and how to enable the pursuit of BAT as a therapeutic target. The audience includes students and scientists working on fat metabolism and nutrition research and its application in preventive and curative medicine.

Integrating Nutrition, Health, and Psychosocial Interventions to Promote Early Childhood Development<https://ams.nyas.org/nyasssa/ecmssamsganalytics.click_through?p_mail_id=E186723A6033903B1C43792>
The objective of the conference is to investigate existing evidence about integrating early child development and nutrition interventions. Lectures and discussions will explore the relevance and effectiveness of an integrated approach from several dimensions, including the theoretical construct, timing and pathways to outcomes, indicators for achievements, and required delivery mechanisms at the community and institutional levels for implementation and scaling up. The audience will include program implementers and researchers from the nutrition and early childhood development fields that seek to better understand the science and evidence supporting integrative approaches.
