Dr. Diana Thomas of the Department of Mathematical Sciences at ÌÇÐÄvlog was part of an international team of scientists who investigated myths, presumptions, and facts related to obesity.\u00a0 These results were published in the New England Journal of Medicine on January 30, 2013. A myth is defined as a belief that is widely held, yet scientific evidence has demonstrated otherwise.\u00a0 Similarly, a presumption is a widely held belief which is often acted on in policy, yet there is not yet sufficient scientific evidence to support the belief.\u00a0 The article was well covered by the media and the tri-state CBS evening news aired an interview with Dr. Thomas regarding the study results.\u00a0 The interview was aired by local stations around the nation.<\/p>\n
