US DOHaD Society members play a critical role in fostering community and collaboration across a diverse range of scientists, clinicians, and trainees! Today, we wanted to highlight:
Susan E. Carlson, PhD, a US DOHaD Member and Distinguished Professor from the University of Kansas Medical Center. She was inspired to join the US DOHaD Society for its relation to her broad body of work on infant nutrition with specific focus on DHA and AA supplementation. Currently, she is working diligently on projects to reduce preterm birth. Beyond her research, she’s a fan of reading and traveling with Iran being her favorite place she’s visited.
Dr. Carlson’s favorite thing about being a US DOHaD Member is meeting and hearing about the work of others who have similar interests in DOHaD topics. To anyone considering joining the US DOHaD Society, she emphasizes that it is a relatively small group and easy to make contacts with others who can help your career and inform your work.
Support from and involvement by researchers like Dr. Carlson are important to keeping our society thriving. If you are also a member of the US DOHaD Society, consider this a friendly reminder to renew your membership dues or, if you’re not yet a member, to join our community! By renewing or becoming a member, you help support the initiatives of the US DOHaD Society to connect scientists, clinicians, and trainees with shared interests across the nation!
