Science Committee

GOED's Science Committee is a unique group made up of scientists and scientific representatives across the industry. It monitors and provides feedback on ongoing global scientific developments related to EPA and DHA omega-3s. The committee shares ongoing and emerging science on EPA and DHA, as well as welcoming speakers involved in omega-3 research for group learning opportunities. When applicable, the Committee may also contribute to developing GOED-specific scientific resources for members to access, as well as providing scientific substantiation for content developed by GOED's Communications Committee. In some project or activity-specific circumstances, the GOED Science Committee may also provide scientific insight, expertise, or recommendations to other committees or the GOED Board. Now that GOED’s EPA and DHA omega-3 Clinical Study Database is live, the Committee contributes ideas to promote this tool to showcase the science. The Committee meets by video conferencing on the last Wednesday of every month and new topics for discussion, as well as new members, are welcome. The committee is currently chaired by Theresa Jahn of Nature’s Way. Please contact Kaitlin Roke if you are interested in joining.
