Pathways to Prevention Workshop: Nutrition as Prevention for Improved Cancer Health Outcomes (Day 3)
As many as 80% of people with cancer experience malnutrition, but nutritional screening and interventions aren't standard parts of outpatient cancer care in the United States. More research is needed to inform development of guidelines and services for the prevention and treatment of cancer-associated malnutrition. Workshop speakers will discuss the current scientific evidence on how nutritional interventions affect cancer health outcomes. After the workshop, an independent panel will draft a report on evidence gaps and identify priorities for future research.For more information go tohttps://prevention.nih.gov/P2P-Nutriti...

The Measure of Black (Un)Fitness: Legacies of Slavery in the Early Eugenics Movement
This presentation considers how people of African descent became targets of eugenic study during the early decades of the twentieth century. It delves into the methods and assumptions eugenicists used to cast people of African descent as inherently unfit. Eugenicists saw blackness as a heritable trait that signaled a lack of vitality, innate promiscuity, and low achievement. That said, views about Black people ’ s inherent unfitness circulated well before the advent of eugenics. As such, this paper highlights the ways in which studies on fitness, some of which were carried out by the United States government in the after...
