've always been curious about different cultures and traditions. For my university assignment, I delved into the world of beer and explored the diverse flavors from around the globe. From German lagers to Belgian ales, it was a tasty journey! Cheers to expanding our horizons! 🍻 #BeerAroundTheWorld #UniversityResearch"

Welcome to Inside SCSD! Today we will meet our CHAIR of the IFT Sensory and Consumer Sciences Division - Alden Riak.   Alden is a Sensory Scientist at Synergy Flavors Inc. He works in three pillars of sensory: Descriptive Analysis: Training the panelists, Discrimination: Conducting studies like tetrads, and Degree of Difference Testing Consumer Testing: Liking Studies, net penalty analysis, and preference testing Background: He received his Bachelor's in Food Science from Iowa State University and his Masters in Food Science from Penn State University. Why did he join the SCSD?: He was working as an intern for Land O’Lakes in 2018 and the sensory manager talked highly about the group and offered him the contact information of a member. He reached out and asked if there was anything he could help with that summer and they offered him the opportunity to help set up a website for a silent auction for the summer social event! He was able to help for the next summer as well until he finally joined as a student representative in 2019. He always highly encourages students to get involved at any level! His passion for the sensory and consumer sciences field: It’s all about the people, to have a job that has him interacting with people from all over is amazing (He is not too well suited for solitary lab work Haha!). He also gets to see a fun array of projects to work on which one can use the wide assortment of methods in our sensory toolkit to complete! His favorite basic taste (sweet, salty, sour, bitter, umami)? He said, ‘Don’t make me choose between my two loves of sweet and salty!!! 🍭🧂That’s cruel! The last time I was asked, I had a tough time choosing between sweet and salty, so this time I’ll use the basic taste that I just discovered SWALTY (a combination of sweet and salty)! Keep an eye out for prestigious scientific literature like My Twitter! This is definitely not because I still can’t choose a favorite.’   If he could only eat/drink one food/beverage for the rest of her life, it would be deep-dish pizza! It’s a full meal in a slice and it’s fun to talk about the different pizza rivalries within the Chicagoland area! (Lou Malnati’s for the win!) 🍕 #iftscsd #sensoryscience #foodscience #insidescsd

🌟 WHO AM I? 🌟 Chipo Beatrice Zulu I wear two hats in the vibrant Manchester community. I’m the heart and soul behind Tosimba By-Bee, where we bring a slice of African-Caribbean warmth to the community. I'm also just Bee, a single mom cheering on the sidelines of our local football pitches or navigating the school run chaos with my two lively boys, who are proud students in Didsbury schools. Being a part of the Manchester and Didsbury school community is a privilege. It's not just a chance to serve delicious food; it's an opportunity to weave our diverse narratives together, enriching our community's fabric. And what better way to do this than by collaborating across organisations and educational settings? I believe it's a brilliant idea to spread the love and celebrate our unity through the universal language of food. TOSIMBA, which translates to "Let's Get Stronger" in Shona, embodies our mission to bring people together through the universal language of food. I firmly believe that food has the power to foster understanding and appreciation for different cultures. Our African-Caribbean cuisine not only offers rich and vibrant flavours but also promotes a sense of belonging, well-being, teamwork, communication, and overall satisfaction among employees, students, and the community. What are you doing to foster cultural awareness in your organisation or educational setting? At Tosimba, we offer tailored programs to help you create a more inclusive and culturally aware environment. Whether through culinary experiences, storytelling sessions, or interactive workshops, we’re here to help you celebrate diversity and enhance cultural competence in your teams. Let's connect and explore how we can enrich your organisation or educational setting with the vibrant flavours and stories of African-Caribbean culture. #CulturalAwareness #DiversityAndInclusion #InclusiveWorkplace #CrossCulturalTraining #FoodAndCulture #Belonging

It is believed that the ability to explore and comprehend the unknown, and then share that experience with others, to weave a fabric of collective intelligence and awareness, is the underpinning factor to create the guise we so proudly don making us into an evolved being. I was thrilled when an opportunity was presented to me, to share the experience from my journey into a new country, studying MSc Food Science and Innovation at MMU and my professional life, with the current batch of students. A myriad of thoughts ran within me, the one’s those prevailed were analysing my experiences and responsibly presenting, ·      A balanced view, without personal bias. ·      Content from which the attendees could draw insights, rather than it being a tool for self-glorification. ·      Drawing form my professional life and emphasising the role that each module they will learn during their course plays, in the food industry. ·      And the importance of transferrable skills such as teamwork, critical thinking, analytical approach, and problem solving; all with an open mind, amongst others. The engagement and questions I witnessed during the presentation made me let out a sigh of relief followed with a sense of a fulfilling joy, of being able to employ the experience from my journey as a signpost for others. I want to thank Matt Knight and The Manchester Metropolitan University for giving me the stage to do so. #MScFoodScience #InnovationInFood #StudentEngagement #MMUExperience

As I look back on the journey that led to my abstract being selected for the Undergraduate Research Competition at IFT FIRST in Chicago, I'm filled with a mix of emotions - gratitude and a tinge of disappointment. Immense gratitude for being given the opportunity to showcase my work and that tinge of disappointment because I couldn't make it 😔 . My mini-project which I did in my 3rd year on "Assessing Food Safety Knowledge and Practices among Food Service Providers on the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, (KNUST) Campus" was more than just a project; it was a labor of love, a test of perseverance, and a reminder that every late night and early morning was worth it. Being part of this prestigious international conference was a dream come true, and although I couldn't attend due to lack of funding, I'm humbled to know that a potential was seen in me and my work will be shared with the global Food Science Community. This moment was a reminder that our passions and dedication can take us further than we ever imagined. This experience has taught me to appreciate the small wins and to keep pushing forward, even when things don't go as planned. I'm proud of myself and everyone who supported me along the way; Institute of Food Technologists (IFT), Abena Boakye, PhD, Stephanie Walaszek and many more; Thank you very much!! Here's to many more moments of growth, learning, and success! 🎊 🎈 #IFTFIRST #Research #FoodScience #Reflection"
