Policy, Scientific Advocacy, and Combatting Obesity- workshop outcome

The covid-19 pandemic has brought increased attention to the obesity epidemic, as being overweight increases the risk of hospitalization or death due to the virus. With this context in mind, CSaP convened an expert panel and a group of early career researchers from the Cambridge Metabolic Network and the Cardiovascular Interdisciplinary Research Centre to explore the role of scientific advice and advocacy in responding to the UK's obesity epidemic.
