Description:

"Dutch Hunger in WWII: Effects of Prenatal Under-nutrition in Adulthood" presented by Julie Yonker

The Dutch Famine in the winter of 1944-45 took many lives then, but, tragically, increased mortality rates continue to this day. Julie Yonker will focus on how maternal under-nutrition during pregnancy has had long-term consequences on physical, mental and cognitive health. Julie is an assistant professor of psychology at Calvin College where she teaches Introduction to Psychology, Lifespan Development, Adolescent & Adult Development and leads the off-campus interim, The European Influence on the History.
