David
Levitsky, Ph.D
Professor, Nutritional Sciences PhD,
Cornell University
Shocking
people seems to be a theme of Dr. Levitsky's
lectures. A popular professor that teaches
Nutrition, Health and Society in the
fall of every year, he uses that weapon
to keep his students awake and interested
in continuing to come to class. His
most notable antic occurs during his
exercise and movement lecture. Dr. Levitsky
sheds his clothing and begins sprinting
around the auditorium to demonstrate
the body's reaction to different intervals
of movement.

After recovering from the shock of seeing
one's professor strip during class, most everyone
agrees that it is a very effective way to
keep the class awake, entertained, and informed
about nutrition. Dr. Levitsky also teaches
Obesity and the Control of Body Weight. These
two classes tie in well with Dr. Levitsky's
research. A professor with a degree in experimental
psychology, Dr. Levitsky studies determinants
of human food intake and how this translates
to the control of body weight. His current
research reveals human sensitivity to biological
and environmental factors in order to determine
the kind of approach we may use to curb, or
even reverse, this epidemic of obesity.
Levitsky’s
radical views are presented in his research
work found in the Journal of Physiology
and Behavior.
