NSF Awards �þ��ҹ��ӰԺ��ѹۿ� State Researchers $1.3 Million to Nourish Children’s Minds, Fill Their Bellies

Science is complex, and it’s difficult to discuss it with children under the best circumstances; it’s even more difficult when they are hungry. Two �þ��ҹ��ӰԺ��ѹۿ� researchers may have cooked up a way to solve both of those problems, and the National Science Foundation just awarded them a three-year, $1.3 million grant to determine if their recipe works.
