In this episode of our podcast I had the chance to talk with Dr. Schoenfuss. Dr. Schoenfuss is the faculty advisor for the Joseph J. Warthesen Food Processing Center, and the Associate Director of the Midwest Dairy Food Research Center. She also judges local and national dairy product contests, and coaches the collegiate dairy product evaluation contest team. With Dr. Schoenfuss we had the chance to speak about her career progression as a leader and expert within the dairy product industry, the evolution of dairy food industry, her regulations and challenges in running a lab, her expectations from lab members, and her advice to new students joining or graduating from the food science program.
