The Food Systems Innovation Center Opens!

Angela Anandappa has been around all week again and this time she has a cameraman with her. They've been going around filming different professors and grad students speaking, and it's a little bit weird to see so many people in white lab coats because they usually aren't necessary; the only time I had to wear one is when I was in the protein chemistry lab.

The grand opening of the Food Systems Innovation Center was last night and it just didn't feel right seeing everybody in dresses and suits because I've never actually seen any of them in anything other than jeans. Anyway, it was a really nice event with several distinguished speakers (like the dean of the College of Agriculture) and we saw the video which was pretty good considering how little time was used to create it. It's also possible I'm a little biased because there's a short clip of me working down in the dairy lab.

I would like to mention that "The UK Food Systems Innovation Center provides technical services, marketing intelligence, business services and training components to aid in developing the food industry of Kentucky," according to the new website, and you should check it out at http://www.uky.edu/Ag/AnimalSciences/foodsci/FoodInnovationCenter.html
