Nutrition Pepper Mushroom Background BackgroundsEating a healthy diet should be simple but nutrition news can make your head spin. Let’s clear up the confusion and separate the facts from the hype. Let’s figure out how you put a healthy and delicious meal on the table tonight.
Kate Sherwood, executive chef at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, will combine what nutritionists know about healthy with what chefs know about delicious. Because eating healthy food that doesn't taste great is impossible to sustain, and let's be honest: life's too short not to enjoy great food.
So healthy and delicious, practical and easy. Join Kate for a conversation and a taste of healthy and delicious. Food samples provided! (Space is limited; please register.)
When: Monday, Oct. 22, 2018 from 4:30-5:30 pm
Where: Himmelfarb Library, room 202
Sponsored by Healthy Living@Himmelfarb.

WashCapsAs the Washington Capitals' winning record brings them closer to the Stanley Cup, Himmelfarb Library looks to the health sciences literature to assess if being a Washington Capitals' fan can make you happier.

In this article, researchers explored the relationship of emotional expression with group membership.  Extrapolating from that data, we suggest that being a Washington Capitals fan will make you happier.

GO CAPS!
