Explore the highlights of the HEAL Lab's participation in the 2023 Annual Scientific Meeting, held from March 12-15 in San Francisco, CA. Our undergraduate student, Indira D'Souza, presented a research abstract on "COVID mitigation strategies associated with better physical activity and diet in a cohort of pregnant people with overweight and obesity: Findings from a racially/ethnically diverse sample" during the Research Lightning Talk sessions. Her conclusions shed light on the healthier behaviors exhibited by pregnant participants of color with overweight or obesity.

Jasmine Cuellar, Paige Smith, and Dr. Sarah Haynes attended the ACES Aware Grantee Conference: Innovations & Lessons Learned representing the HEAL Lab on May 16, 2022 and May 17, 2022 in Long Beach, CA. The HEAL Lab attended this conference because it was a great opportunity to share what our team learned throughout this implementation grant and listen to what fellow grantees across the state of California learned throughout their grant periods.
