Talk:Issues in Interdisciplinarity 2018-19/Evidence in Nutrition

Advice from Manuela: - Make a preface to say: we will be talking about evidence (explain what it is+resources) in nutrition. This is an interdisciplinary project that involves the following disciplines: nutritional sciences, marketing, economy and sociology.

- How is this interdisciplinary?? The conception of the issue is different in different disciplines. MAKE IT VERY EXPLICIT, explain the precise way in which we're making this interdisciplinary. Nutrition is the main discipline and it is affected by other disciplines, and we will be using this other disciplines to approach the issue of health.

- It's not so much about what's the evidence, but also about how people relate to the evidence.

- Conflictive evidence in nutrition, there is no consensus about what is healthy.

- Look at the NHS page about nutrition to see what's their point of view. They're the public health organism in the UK and people rely on what they say.

- Conflict in types of evidence/metrics to measure health/obesity: there is BMI, body fat, etc.

- Shorten "Real food" and "what is healthy" Keep history part really brief

- Hyperlinks!!! (even if you've already sourced it)

Group Work: Team meetings: - Tues 27/11 5pm-6pm: brainstorming, distributing roles and outlining sections (Gosia, Marta, Audrey)

- Tues 4/12 4pm-5pm: meeting with Manuela and restructuring (Marta and Audrey)

- Sat 8/12 1pm-5pm: Significant editing/restructuring and compiling research (Gosia, Marta, Audrey)

- Sun 9/12 10am-1pm: Word cutting and final edits (Gosia, Marta, Audrey) During the group meetings usually one person would be editing on the wikibook itself, but we were all contributing.

Roles: - Audrey: initial outline, intro/research and methodologies, obesity and related diseases, English proofreading

- Marta: research, health section, social implications (later deleted for word count), Funding and Biases, citations (20 references!)

- Gosia: research, advertising (significant cuts also made to this section for word count), health claims, legal policy implications

We used Google Docs for brainstorming and collaborative writing: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tARR1eexS0zC6pKC9Prz52YpmN761SD-ELf7NjFTBL8/edit

We had to cut a lot of our work (over 400 words) so here is an earlier version: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SB7MLuYoyja-cWz-kkgi1UoLACupW4ynhP-AWfOpaxs/edit?usp=sharing

UPDATE: we weren't able to upload any pictures, they were all deleted.
