Optimizing Swallowing & Eating for the Elderly
A BIG congratulations to Susie Nam on successfully defending her master’s thesis today. Her thesis was titled, “The effects of behavioral mimicry on drinking behaviors in older adult populations.” She was one of the first ever CDS students to design, implement, write, and defend a thesis in our program – we applaud your drive to participate in active, engaged research. Way to go, Susie!
