Description:
Globally, women’s health continues to lag behind men’s health at every stage of life. Addressing these disparities requires us to explore the intersections of nutrition, food security, and technology. Nanotechnology offers innovative ways to grow and store food with less manual labor and in shorter time frames—creating new possibilities for advancing women’s health worldwide. From nanomaterials that extend food shelf life to 3D printing and agrivoltaics that enable sustainable farming in urban and arid environments, these technologies represent a transformative step toward health equity.
Students, alumnae, and faculty from both Barnard and CUCA will be joining this global conversation. We hope you’ll take part in this exciting opportunity to learn how nanotechnology is shaping the future of women’s health.
