I love teaching nutrition. It represents my philosophy of world understanding: to really understand a subject you must be able to view it from various perspectives. For any given nutritional problem one must have an understanding of not only the biology of the human body (biochemistry, physiology, physics, anatomy) but also the social sciences (psychology, sociology, anthropology, economics, political science), particularly if the goal of teaching is to prepare minds that will seek solutions to these problems. It is wonderful to witness the results of opening these bright Cornell undergraduates to this global perspective of issues that relate to common behaviors such as eating and exercise. I have been teaching introductory nutrition for, at least, the 20 years, and I never tire of the excitement and enthusiasm my lectures elicit in my students when I explain how these overlapping systems work together to produce their results. Nor do I tire of seeking the most up-to-date information before each lecture to provide the students with a sense of living history and relevance to today’s society. I maintain the same level of enthusiasm for my advising. Here, I am more interested in the guiding the students towards finding a path in their life. I pride myself in becoming their “confident” meaning that they can reach me at any time to talk, discussing any issues they may have, or being their advocate in any problem involving in the university.
