CIMIT Partners with Museum of Science, Boston

CIMIT is pleased to launch a new partnership with the Museum of Science in Boston, which will result in a new series of public conversations about cutting edge medical technology issues that affect all of our lives.

Our first program, “The Supersizing of America,” takes place on November 13th in collaboration with the MGH Weight Center. We will take a broad look at the concept and condition of obesity, its possible causes, the effects this national epidemic is having on our health, and ways in which we can effectively combat the problem. We will be welcoming a panel of experts from a variety of disciplines to give their opinions on the matter, then spend some time fielding audience questions, comments, and suggestions. We also will be offering support and reference materials to attendees as part of a resource center from a variety of related health groups and organizations.
