This year’s awards honour Dr. Anna Elizabeth Thalacker-Mercer and Dr. Rachel Whooten. Their research spans from fundamental insights into nutrition and metabolism to practical approaches to improve prevention and care across the life course.
Together, their work highlights the vital role of nutrition science in addressing some of today’s most pressing public health challenges.
Congratulations to both awardees 👏
