Hunger Issues: Engaging Participants for Lifelong Change
1:30 p.m. EDT Tuesday, May 17 | Register
Presenter: Julie Buck EdD, MHE, RDN, University of Idaho Extension, Bannock County
Persons with low resources, such as housing, money, healthcare and basic daily needs, may be aware of assistance in their area but are not matched to those services. Nutrition educators are located throughout most communities ready to teach. Challenges occur between communicating what type of services are available to the specific group and finding a match to those best able to teach. This session will discuss what challenges educators face in their specific locations, and provide opportunity for those persons on the webinar to share ideas with each other. Educators will be engaged in learning new ideas to program more effective with those in need. The SNEB Public Health Nutrition Division will be sponsoring this event.
| Welcome new SNEB members (since April 26)

SNEB
Thank you Alex for reporting on discussion you attended as a representative of SNEB.
The American Academy for the Advancement of Science hosted on Tuesday, May 3 a roundtable discussion on "Building a Unifying Message in Support of Food, Nutrition and Health Research." This event is the third stakeholder roundtable sponsored by the Charles Valentine Riley Memorial Foundation (RMF). The meeting objectives included:
- Agree on the need for a unifying message to support research to improve food, nutrition and health.
- Better understand the research funding priorities of those around the table and explore common elements that would inform the development of a unifying message aimed at federal policy-makers.
- Opportunity for questions and dialogue on the value of a unifying message for increasing public research funding of food, nutrition and health and on the potential opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.
Representatives from the academic, government, private and public sectors were invited to attend. Additional RMF plans for 2016 underway or in development include: the AAAS Riley Memorial Lecture on May 23; endorsements from other key leaders and stakeholder organizations (in addition to the Delta Council and a few farm/commodity organizations), and plans for a final, integrated report on the unifying message, tentatively aimed for release in January 2017.

The new report, Running a Food Hub: Assessing Financial Viability, provides modules and best practices for food hubs to maximize profits and control costs.

The classic children's television show "Sesame Street" maintains the mission, as its motto says, to help kids become "smarter, stronger, kinder." Now not quite at its half-century mark, the company behind the show wants to claim a fourth characteristic for itself: quicker.

A mother's breast milk supports immune responses in her newborn that help the infant's gut become a healthy home to a mix of bacterial species, thanks in part to newly identified antibodies from the mother, according to a study by UC Berkeley researchers. Scientists believe the gut is sterile and bacteria-free at birth, when suddenly the infant is exposed to bacteria from the wider world.
