Best-Selling Author Series: Artemis Simopoulos

Known for her groundbreaking seminal research on Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids in the 1980’s, Dr. Simopoulos’ insights resulted in a clash with vegetable-oil lobbyists and the pharmaceutical industry. But soon after, her theories were validated scientifically and accepted by nutritionists and the public. Her books include the 2008 Aristeon Award-winning, The Omega Diet, and The Omega Plan. Among her numerous honors and awards is the first Presidential Award for Studies in the Field of Obesity and Weight Control.

Best-Selling Authors’ and Great Thinkers’ lectures are followed by a reception and book-signing. The public is invited. There is no charge. RSVP are required: call 212-772-4295 or email twcce@hunter.cuny.edu and include your phone number and email address.

A few days before each talk, guests will receive a confirmation email with directions to Hunter College and the room in which the lecture will be held.
