While I have you behind the scenes, why not continue the tour, no? So much for a segue… After I graduated nutrition grad school, I spent a decent amount of time not only describing the role of a registered dietitian, but also explaining how my grad school, Teachers College, offered a master’s in nutrition. Yes, … Continue reading Post-Divorce: A Behind-the-Scenes View
