KINESIOLOGY PROFESSOR TACKLES IRON MAN
|
Tyler Garner, PhD, in CONHI’s Department of Kinesiology recently completed his first Iron Man competition. Dr. Garner says wheelchair athletes like Carlos Moleda inspired him to take on this challenge. While the training regimen was grueling, anywhere between 12 and 16 hours a week, Dr. Garner tells us he has serval lessons from this experience he intends to pass on to his students.
“The joy is in the journey. This is a saying Dr. Barry McKeown always says, and it really proved to be true. I learned so much about myself throughout the long days of training.” Congratulations Dr. Garner!

For the 2023 APHA Conference, Darashagam Nahal was able to present two research works. The first presentation was in poster format on the "Effects and experiences of unequal access to clean energy in three municipalities in Colombia". The second presentation was in oral format on "A critical review of the health effects of food insecurity across the life-course".
"I had such an amazing experience at the 2023 APHA Conference, and I am so glad that I was able to represent our program there through my research."
Nahal and three others were selected as the top abstracts among all students who submitted to the APHA Food and Nutrition (FN) Section. And she then received the award for the highest scoring scientific abstract among all Food and Nutrition Section student presentations at the FN Section Awards and Networking Social on Sunday, November 12th.
