Food science as a formal academic discipline began at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1918, and now, almost a century later, it remains one of the world's preeminent food science programs. The Department of Food Science at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst was recently ranked the number one food science Ph.D. research program in the United States by the National Research Council. The 2010 study evaluated graduate programs according to several criteria, including faculty research productivity (publications, citations, grants, awards), student completion rates, and diversity.

Congratulations to Cristina Hirschbiegel, a University of Massachusetts Amherst doctoral student in chemistry, on winning the UMass Graduate School's Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition! Critina won the top prize for her presentation, "Nanozymes for Cancer Treatment." The 3MT competition challenges UMass graduate students to describe their research in an engaging manner, using non-technical language, all in three minutes or less. This year, there was a tie for runner-up, with the judges selecting both Maria Victoria Acevedo-Estupinan, doctoral student in food science, for her presentation “How Oleosome Package Impacts Oxidation in Walnuts,” and Bachir Messikh, doctoral student in polymer science and engineering, for his presentation “Pushing the Boundaries of Cellulose: The Endless Potential of Nature’s Most Abundant Material.” Learn more about the 3MT competition and see a video of the winning presentation: https://bit.ly/4ivsCgB #UMassAmherst #UMassAmherstResearch #GraduateResearch #3MT

I am extremely proud to announce that I placed 1st in the UMass Food Science Department's prestigious Hultin Competition. The Hultin Competition requires a 10-minute oral presentation of nominated PhD students' research. I am incredibly honored to have had the chance to compete amongst such a talented group of PhD students. Thank you to Matthew Moore and Amanda Kinchla for their unwavering support of my research and professional skill development. Next stop: defend my dissertation!

Hey UMass Food Science - This week has been a busy week heading into spring break. This upcoming week is a good time to update your resume! In both my undergrad and grad courses, students are having questions about #interviewing. Take a look at this Job Interview Cheat Sheet! For our alumni - what other questions would you add to this list? I would love to hear your favorite questions to ask candidates! Institute of Food Technologists (IFT), what about a cheat sheet for #FoodScience?

I've interviewed 100s of people for 6-figure roles. (Here's what nobody tells you...) It's not the most qualified candidate who gets the job. It's the best prepared for the interview. How to prep like the top 1%: 1. Research the company like you already work there. ? Know their challenges, victories, and latest news. 2. Practice your answers out loud. ? What sounds good in your head may not when spoken. 3. Prepare 3 specific stories that showcase your skills. ? Focus on your adaptability and leadership. 4. Study the job description. Find the top 3 skills they want. ? Then craft examples proving you have them. 5. Do a mock interview with a trusted person. ? Someone who will give you honest feedback. ?? And 7 questions to ask that make YOU stand out: 99% of candidates ask basic questions at the end. Don't waste this opportunity to impress! Ask these instead: ? What does success look like in the first 90 days? ? What are the biggest challenges facing the team that I could help solve? ? How would you describe the management style of the person I'd be reporting to? ? What distinguishes your top performers from everyone else? ? How does the company support professional development and growth? ? What made YOU decide to join this company, and what keeps you here? ? What do new employees find surprising after they start? The best candidates don't just answer questions. They create meaningful conversations. Remember: Interviews are a two-way street. You're evaluating them just as much as they are you. You spend 90,000 hours of your life at work. Choose a company and manager that support your growth. Your career will thank you. P.S. What's your best tip for nailing your interview? Share in the comments to help others prepare. ?? Valuable? Repost to share with your network. ?? Follow Justin Wright for more on career success. Want my 80 best cheat sheets?
