About the Event
Calling all HBS foodies! Ever wish you could combine your passion for food AND public health?
Now's your chance! Translate your public health research or practice work into a culinary creation to share at this year’s HBS Bake Your Research and Practice Day.
Not culinarily inclined? No problem. Join us for a free, HBS-sponsored, catered lunch and prize ceremony as we celebrate (and sample) our community’s creations.
