T he
Rockefeller University is pleased to announce its inaugural
Parents & Science "Celebrating Science" Benefit Dinner
will be held on November 7, 2012 at Abby Aldrich
Rockefeller Hall. The evening will bring together
world-class scientists, renowned child health care experts,
and parents and grandparents interested in the most recent
scientific advances revolutionizing our understanding of
human development and diseases of childhood.
Rockefeller
University President Marc Tessier-Lavigne, Ph.D.,
will host the benefit, which will raise funds to help create
a new Center for Research on Child and Adolescent Health, as
well as for educational outreach initiatives for students
and teachers in New York City.
Robert Lustig,
M.D., a
renowned pediatric scientist who trained at Rockefeller,
will present his latest findings in a lecture titled
"Darwin, Diet, Disease and Dollars: How the Sugar in
Processed Foods Has Changed Society."
The Rockefeller
University is a world-renowned center for research and
graduate education in the biomedical sciences, chemistry,
and physics. The University was founded by John D.
Rockefeller in 1901 as the nation's first institute for
medical research. Twenty-four researchers associated with
Rockefeller throughout its history have been awarded the
Nobel Prize.
In 2007, The Rockefeller University established the
Parents & Science initiative to heighten
awareness within New York City?s parent community of the
groundbreaking research being conducted by Rockefeller
scientists. Since then, more than 1,700 parents have
attended Parents & Science lectures to learn about
the latest discoveries relevant to the care and nurturing of
children from infancy through adolescence.
