Editorial CommitteeThe Editorial Committee met in early January to review the topics for the January-February edition and to establish committee member expectations for the new year. Future topics included a potential artificial intelligence-themed issue. The committee also agreed that future meetings will be held on the first Thursday of each month.
Public and Environmental Health CommitteeThe Public and Environmental Health Committee met in December to discuss the negative effects of high salt-to-potassium ratios in food and what the next steps could be for SSVMS to advocate for better standards in restaurants and processed foods. In January, the committee had guest speakers present on the overarching issue of climate change and what SSVMS can do to have a positive impact.
