I am working at the World Health Organization in the Department of Nutrition for Health and Development (NHD). I began the summer by participating in the World Health Assembly, working on a WHO nutrition capacity building project, and helping the NHD department organize a conference on adolescent nutrition. For the second half of my summer, in addition to continuing the capacity building project, I will be conducting a literature review on the connections between biodiversity and nutritional health with the goal being to map the existing knowledge and write a document that can be used as a background resource.
