COMMUNITY NIGHT TIPS

Obesity is a global epidemic with roots that lie in our early senses of taste and smell. Yet both the biology of the human body and complex social factors make this a challenging problem to solve. How do our senses drive our food habits, what are some strategies to help us make better decisions, and what are the innovative programs that are improving health in Philadelphia? 

THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT. Join us next month for Science After Hours: Holiday Bizarre. 

Class is in session at The Franklin School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. From potions to fantastic beasts—the magic is real as The Franklin Institute transforms into a wonderland of science on this enchanted evening.
