My Food Job Rocks!

As some of you know, whenever I’m sent for business, I try my best to meet with people wherever I can. This time, it took me to Chicago. So I took a few days off and asked if I could come into the IFT office in the heart of Chicago. I talked to a few people on staff due to my role as Chair of the Cactus IFT section, but I also was able to get an amazing interview with two IFT employees. Karen Nachey and Jay Gilbert. Fun fact, I worked with Jay as an undergrad in college. So a main theme in this interview is food science, how we all found it, and more importantly, how IFT can help you as a food scientist. As you know, IFT has a variety of tools for food scientist and Jay and Karen break down how to use these resources. We talk about webinars, the best way to take your time on Expos, the Food Evolution movie, the really cool things happening with IFT Next, everything IFT is in this episode.
