The Spring 2008 Coles Science Salon was a great success, thanks to our speaker David Schleifer!
David, a PhD candidate in NYU's Department of Sociology, spoke on how cities “do” science to inform urban policy, using New York City's trans fat ban as his case study.
To read David's talking notes from his presentation entitled, CityTech: Urban Science and New York’s Trans Fat, scroll through them here:

Thanks to all who attended! We look forward to seeing you at our next Science Salon in the fall.
In the meantime, please stop by the Coles Science Center on the 9th floor of Bobst to check out our display on the science, technology, and health of trans fat.
