I am an associate professor at Kansas State University and scientific director of the Food Safety Network. Trained in molecular biology, and employed as a journalist, I found that food safety was a discipline where I could meld my interests in science, society and policy -- more formally known as risk analysis. My lab, the Food Safety Network, seeks innovative ways to compel everyone in the farm-to-fork food safety system -- individual producers, retail employees, and consumers, among others -- to acknowledge and adopt best practices to reduce the risk of foodborne illness. A native of Brantford, Ontario, I am passionate about food, have four daughters, and am an OK goaltender in pickup hockey.
