41. Food Science & Development - with Sydney Robertson
Ever consider all the scientific work that goes into making your favourite bag of chips? On this episode of Pathways by GrenSTEAM, Sydney chats with Arlene about the intricacies of food science and its applications, her struggles finding a job in the US as an international student and shares some thoughts about why locally produced foods might be so darn expensive.
We hope you enjoy the journey on today's Pathway!
