You are at a party, drinking some wine or beer. You have some crackers with cheese, maybe eating some chips. You are social, talking to people you do not know, and you are trying to find out a little bit more about them. \u2018So, what do you do for a living?\u2019 \u2018I am a Food Scientist.\u2019 \u2026. \u2018What does that mean?\u2019<\/p>\n

When you were young, you never had any friends who said; \u2018\u2019I want to be a food scientist when I grow up!\u2019\u2019 You wanted to become a firefighter, a doctor or police officer. I even wanted to join the circus briefly. To be fair, these occupations all get the cool outfits. Another thing these occupations have in common is that you can imagine what a day on the job could look like. When you hear food scientist, this gets a lot harder. This is partially because food scientists and technologists are people who can work in very diverse fields and have very different specialities.<\/p>\n
