One of our longest serving Board members, Cheryl Rock PhD, RD, is resigning after 34 years on the Eating Disorders Review Editorial Advisory Board. Active as a nutritional scientist for over two decades, Dr. Rock joined the University of California San Diego faculty in 1996 and currently heads the Nutrition Shared Resource in the Division of Cancer Prevention and Control of the University of California San Diego Comprehensive Cancer Center. Some of her many research projects have included nutrition in disease prevention, particularly in cancer and cardiovascular disease. Her special research has included breast cancer survivors and weight and glucose levels. She is currently co-investigator on a Specialized Cancer Center Support Grant. We will greatly miss Cheryl’s many contributions to our newsletter and wish her well!
