In a significant step forward for advancing science to support public health, the American Society for Nutrition (ASN) and The Obesity Society (TOS) are proud to announce a new strategic alliance that unites two leading scientific organizations under a shared vision: advancing health through the best in nutrition and obesity research and practice. This collaboration reflects a growing recognition that nutrition and obesity science are interconnected disciplines critical to improving global health.
