The Program in International Nutrition at Cornell University
Happy Tuesday! We are excited to announce an online collaborative event, Editathon 2021, to edit nutrition and health information on Wikipedia along with colleagues at the World Health Organization, Wikimedia, and Creative Commons. Time commitment is flexible and can be as little as 2 hours. No prior experience needed, and there will be PIN souvenirs for all participants. Please volunteer/sign up at this link.
See below for this week’s information on the PIN Seminar & Podcast, jobs and opportunities, and more. We are also now seeking suggestions for PIN Speakers for Spring 2022. Please send us an email at PINdirector@cornell.edu to nominate yourself and others!
