Embed Size (px)

DESCRIPTION

Social Networks are become more important in our understanding of health and related behaviors. Recently social network researchers have examined how obesity (and happiness) can travel through a social network. The growth of connections to social networks through communication portals such as Facebook and Twitter allows for flow of information between individuals that can lead to a healthier and a more knowledgeable population. This talk will help examine and explain how social network technology can be beneficial from a health perspective.
