Strategy call for the Diabetes-Obesity Spectrum Working Group
Wednesday, September 14th at 10:00 am Pacific / 1:00 pm Eastern

Please join us for the first call of CHE’s Diabetes-Obesity Spectrum Working Group to discuss ideas of how to move forward. How can this working group most effectively contribute to the effort to disseminate scientific information on chemical and other contributors to diabetes/obesity/metabolic disease, bring together scientists and others in dialogue, and ultimately work to help prevent these diseases?

Some current ideas of potential projects are to:

• hold regular scientific calls to discuss new developments/publications, new ideas, and issues
• propose speakers and sessions for diabetes/obesity meetings and conferences
• propose ideas and speakers for future calls
• collaborate to write articles for journals or the popular press
• prepare brochures, factsheets, and other outreach materials

If you have ideas about these or other efforts, we would like to hear them.

To participate, please dial in using the following information:
