Information that appears in the abstract itself falls under the “NUTRITION 2024 Meeting Abstracts” policy above.
Promotion of general topics, speakers or presentation times is allowed and encouraged as long as specific findings and data to be presented are not included in the announcement. Use the hashtag #NUTRITION2024 to join the online conversation.
