[ Symposium agenda with links to audio and video of individual speed presentations ]
The Harvard Research Symposium on the Nexus of Food, Agriculture, Environment, Health, and Society (Food+ Symposium) featured twenty-two Harvard faculty members from eight schools and a dozen departments giving seven-minute "speed presentations" on their current Food+ research.
The goal of the Food+ Research Symposium was to provide attendees with a sense of the excitement and breadth of the Food+ research underway at Harvard and foster cross-fertilization among researchers.
