Postdoctoral researcher learned the art of conducting high-grade research in meat quality
Giulia Tasoniero, Ph.D., had the opportunity to apply her knowledge of food science as a participant in the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service Research Participation Program. Her research on the characteristics of meat is intended to enhance the quality and processes of processed products.
“It [the program] was a great opportunity from both a professional and personal point of view,” Tasoniero said. “From a more practical point of view, I learned how to carry on many analytical procedures that I did not know before and that are useful for my activity, as well as how to plan research.
