Dr. Bennett was on Morning Edition (briefly) this morning talking about McDonalds' sponsorship of the Olympics. He expressed concern about the mixed (read: misleading) messages in television advertisements saying things like, "So, now you don't have to be an Olympic athlete to eat like one."

Happy holidays from all of us at the BennettLab!

On Friday October 30, we opened our Burlington research lab. The lab (the "BLB") emerged from our collaboration with Piedmont Health Services and will be the primary data collection site for our Shape study. The BLB is based at Piedmont's SeniorCare facility, close to the Charles Drew Community Health Center. 

We're very excited about the BLB! Many thanks to PHS and our designer, Lura Brothers!
