Just a reminder that it is just three weeks until the 2014 weight stigma conference. For more information on the programme and speakers, visit the conference website at stigmaconference.com

There is a new addition to the programme this year. During the afternoon you will have the option to join either a researcher or a practitioner track session. The researcher track will be led by Dr Rachel Calogero and is aimed at fostering interdisciplinary collaborations and potential grant applications. The practitioner track will be led by Dr Deb Burgard and will be looking at ways of eliminating weight stigma from your professional practice. Alternatively, you can just hang out, eat the fresh baked cookies, check out the posters, and network a bit.
