As the #Chair of the #TrendsGroup and also #ChairElect of the #IFTSFSD at Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) - I can't wait to see the breadth and depth of proposals that will be submitted for #IFTFirst2025. Our collective future is shaped by the choices we make as a society—and now, more than ever, we need scientific voices at the forefront. The issues we face, from #publichealth and #climatechange to #technologicaladvancement and #foodsecurity, are complex and require informed, evidence-based solutions. For scientists, this is a pivotal moment. It’s essential to: 🌿 Share Knowledge Widely: We must engage across all domains and communicate our findings with clarity and accessibility. Research impacts everyone, and sharing it widely strengthens public understanding and #trustinscience. 🌍 Collaborate Across Fields: Many of today’s challenges require multidisciplinary approaches. By joining forces across #scientificdisciplines, we can #innovatefaster and address the pressing issues our society faces with more comprehensive strategies. 🔬 Encourage #opendebate : Healthy scientific debate, grounded in respect and shared commitment to progress, leads to better solutions. In a time where facts are often politicized, fostering a nurturing space for discussion ensures we can openly and constructively tackle tough questions. As scientists, let’s continue to step forward—publishing, debating, and building a stronger, more connected community. Calls for proposals for #IFTFirst2025 is now OPEN - the deadline is DEC 4th. Can't wait to see you all there.

🌟 Honored to share this recognition from Trends in Food Science & Technology🌟 I had the honor of contributing 15 reviews to Trends in Food Science & Technology this year, supporting the advancement of research in our field. I am proud to have reviewed nearly one manuscript submitted to this widely recognized journal (IF: 15.1) each month this year. This recognition from Elsevier inspires me to continue striving for excellence and staying engaged with the latest innovations in food science. Grateful to the editorial team and the researchers for the trust and collaboration! #FoodScience #PeerReview #Achievement2024 #DigitalTransformation #Industry40 #FoodTech #FoodScienceInnovation #SmartFoodSolutions #AgriFoodTech #FoodTechnology #FoodProcessing #FoodSafety #SustainableFood

The IFST are holding the below webinar, its worth attending if you can carve out an hour of your day! Institute of Food Science and Technology (IFST)

Hi from Chicago! 👋 Our Director of Regulatory Affairs and Policy, Ashley Cornell headed to Chicago this week for IFT First (Food Improved by Research, Science, and Technology) by the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) — an annual conference that brings together researchers, scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs from across the global food chain to discuss how science and technology can transform the food system. Was anyone else in our community there? Let us know in the comments below!

Why study food science? We spoke to students from the University of Surrey about why they decided to study a degree in food science and technology, and we'll be sharing their perspectives across National Food Science and Technology Week. We also asked what inspires and excites them about food science and technology, and we loved their answers. We want to hear from you as well. What inspires you about the exciting and evolving food sector? Let's get a conversation going down in the comments 👇 Tag us Institute of Food Science and Technology (IFST) and use #FoodSciTechWeek to share your experiences and news across National Food Science and Technology Week.

Journal of Food Science and Technology The Journal of Food Science and Technology (JFST) is the official publication of the Association of Food Scientists and Technologists of India (AFSTI). This monthly publishes peer-reviewed research papers and reviews in all branches of science, technology, packaging and engineering of foods and food products. Special emphasis is given to fundamental and applied research findings that have potential for enhancing product quality, extend shelf life of fresh and processed food products and improve process efficiency. Critical reviews on new perspectives in food handling and processing, innovative and emerging technologies and trends and future research in food products and food industry byproducts are also welcome. The journal also publishes book reviews relevant to all aspects of food science, technology and engineering. Due to the overwhelming number of manuscripts coming to the journal, there could be a delay of 30 days in the first decision. #snsinstitution #snsdesignthinkers #snsdesignthinking
