Science Can’t Wait: A Discovery Series with the Salk Institute

Join the Salk Institute and the Del Mar Foundation for Science Can’t Wait, a three-part webinar series exploring breakthroughs in brain health, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, agricultural solutions, and more. Each session offers exclusive access to Salk scientists whose work is shaping the future of human health and our planet.

For the first time, the Del Mar Foundation is partnering with the Salk Institute to offer a Challenge Match through June. When you give during the webinar series, your contribution will be matched 1:1, instantly doubling your support for groundbreaking research that directly affects our community and the world.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Emily Manoogian, Staff Scientist
Emily studies the intricate interaction between our body’s biological rhythms and the timing of our daily habits, including when and how much we sleep, eat, and exercise. She also manages the development, deployment, and use of novel mHealth tools and wearable devices to monitor and intervene in lifestyle, both on a large scale open to the public and in focused clinical trials. Her research focuses on how lifestyle interventions, such as time-restricted eating (independently or in combination with drug therapy), can improve health outcomes for shift workers and a variety of age-related diseases, including pre-diabetes, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, mental health, and cognitive decline.
