THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED
As the first cases of COVID-19 (coronavirus) have now been reported in our area, the National Institutes of Health and the National Cancer Institute have made the difficult but necessary decision to cancel the March 17, 2020 Stars in Nutrition and Cancer lecture. We know how disappointing this is, and this decision was not made in haste. The health and safety of our travelers, visitors, and staff is our top priority.
We thank you for understanding the extreme difficulty of this decision.
