Early-Career Investigator Committee
Graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and new investigators are an integral part of The Obesity Society (TOS) and comprise the next generation of researchers. Established obesity researchers value our opinions, and regularly find time to inspire and guide us to refine and tailor our work to focus on current issues and include the latest technologies and techniques. As an early-career investigator, feel free to take advantage of the resources available to you in this section of the website.
