“NutriNews”:
Our Official Magazine
PhD
Department of Nutritional Sciences
Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto
from the
Chair
This year, I am pleased to announce the
formal partnership between the Department
of Nutritional Sciences and our student-run
newsletter “NutriNews”. For the past six
years, NutriNews has provided us with an
up-to-date summary of events and
accomplishments of faculty members and
students. This seventh issue marks a turning
point – we are transforming our newsletter
into the official magazine of the
Department.
Last year’s issue of “Prescription to
Nutrition” marked the transition of
NutriNews from a simple newsletter to a
more comprehensive publication. Our
current issue, the “Nutrition of Everything”,
carries this forward by solidifying its status
as our official magazine. It
will further establish who we are as a
Department in the field of nutritional
sciences by showcasing more of our
students’ creative talents as they tackle
current issues in nutrition. It is our collective
hope that this and future issues will not only
be a circular with information about our
Department, but that they will contain our
beliefs, opinions and ideas.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank
the NutriNews team, staff, students and
contributors for their dedication, creativity
and motivation to produce our very first
official Departmental magazine.
