Mango Party raises $1,000 for CWEF

A message from Dr. Pandey:

Dear All Friends,

Thank you all for joining us for the annual mango party on June 17, 2016.  Thank you for your generous donation for CWEF,  total amount donated n the mango box was Cash $400.00 and a Checque of $100.00 adding up to $500.00.  As a match for this donation I donated $500.00 to CWEF.  Thus we raised total of $1000.00 for CWEF, that is sufficient to support education of eight children of widows in India, Kenya or Tanzania.

Thank you again,

Siyaram Pandey

Special Seminar - Dr. Joe Schwarcz - Thurs. Jun. 16 at 3 pm

Special Seminar: Dr. Joe Schwarcz, Director, McGill University, Office for Science and Society, will present a seminar on Thursday, June 16, 2016 at 3:00p.m. in room #186 Essex Hall.

Title: NUTRITIONAL ADVICE-IS THERE A SOLUTION TO THE CONFUSION?

Abstract: 

Eating has become a confusing experience.  Virtually every day bring news about some “miracle food” that we should be gulping down.  One day it's tomatoes to prevent cancer, then flaxseed against heart disease or soybeans for menopause.  Then there are the worries: genetic modification, aspartame, MSG, the safety and efficacy of dietary supplements.  We need proper science to guide us through this nutritional maze.

Students, staff, faculty and members of the public are welcome to attend.
