ACSM From Around Field Science Series Open to Students
ACSM’s From Around the Field science webinar series is designed to provide ACSM students and members an opportunity to learn more about the diverse science our members conduct. Join us for informal discussions with our ACSM members to hear more about what they study, the general research methodology they use, and some of the interesting results their research is generating. In March, Shannon L. Lennon, Ph.D., R.D., from the University of Delaware, will discuss her research on the importance of studying the blood pressure independent effect of sodium on cardiovascular health and potential countermeasures, including potassium and exercise, to attenuate the effect of salt on the vasculature. Join us on March 23, from noon 1 p.m. ET for this interesting discussion. If you can’t join us live, register and we will send you the recording. FREE for ACSM members.
