Rachel Tabak, PhD
Associate Professor
Washington University in St. Louis
Q: Tell us about yourself and your background?
A: I have my background training in nutrition intervention and policy and epidemiology from the Gilling’s School of Global Public Health at UNC. I came to Washington University at the end of my PhD to start post doc and to learn about D&I. I have been here for 13 years now.
I wanted to bring implementation science together with healthy eating and physical activity research. A lot of times it felt in healthy eating and activity intervention work that you would get to the end of a trial, and it would be over. That didn't seem like the kind of impact that I would want to have with my research.
