Christina Stark

I served as the Program Leader (now retired) for Cornell NutritionWorks, an online professional development program for nutrition and health practitioners at www.nutritionworks.cornell.edu. As Program Leader I oversaw the content and structure of the website, plus developed marketing and evaluation strategies. For over 36 years I’ve been responsible for interpreting and communicating research-based information on food and nutrition issues to extension educators, other professionals, consumers and the media. My most recent interests include providing continuing professional education to practitioners worldwide using distance technology, primarily in two areas: 1) using policy, systems, and environmental approaches for obesity prevention and 2) infant and young child feeding. I am also interested in other consumer food and nutrition issues, such as dietary guidelines and food safety. My overall goal is to enhance the link between nutrition research and practice.
