Dr. Pelton’s poster was also chosen for presentation and competition at The American College of Nutrition’s 57th Annual Conference, Translational Nutrition: The Science of Personalized Nutrition, to be held November 9-11 in San Diego, California. Presenters will provide a five-minute overview of their work and answer any questions from the judges.
