August 28, 2019<\/b> – For some, it would be difficult to leave the idyllic coastal city of Charleston, South Carolina behind for small town life in Kannapolis, North Carolina. That wasn\u2019t the case for Natalia Krupenko, PhD. As she interviewed to join the faculty of the Nutrition Research Institute, she was often asked what her motivation for the move was. From her perspective, it was simple. \u201cI said, of course, for work. Of course, for work. The work is fantastic here.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

\r\n

May 28, 2019 – (CNN)<\/b> Most people have this basic understanding of genetics: You inherit genes from your parents, and their DNA combines to create your unique genetic makeup. This can include more obvious traits such as eye color and height but also more complex traits that may involve multiple genes, such as risk of diseases including diabetes, heart disease, obesity and cancer, as well as all aspects of metabolism. What many people may not realize is that there is a significant interaction between your environment and your genes, and your diet is one of the most basic and potentially modifiable components of your environment.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

Once that got boring, she started trying to predict where the litters would be born based on her observations from the previous years.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>
