Outbreaks of measles are currently being reported in Washington state, Oregon, Texas and New York. In fact, the CDC reported that in 2018, 349 individual cases of measles were confirmed in 26 states and the District of Columbia. This is the second-greatest number of annual cases reported since measles was eliminated in the U.S. in 2000. Much of this can be attributed to people not getting their children or themselves vaccinated. Joining me today to discuss the importance of vaccinations is Elizabeth “Libby” Richards, PhD. Dr Richards is a professor at the Purdue University School of Nursing.

Join Branden and special guest Allison Wells as we talk fermentation and how one becomes a food scientist. Show notes: Allison Wells is a graduate of the Purdue University School of Food Science. While at Purdue, she spent a summer working in France on a small, family owned winery where she helped with odd jobs and selling wine at the local farmers markets and wine shops. This experience sparked her interest in fermentation and a desire to learn more about microbiology and biochemistry. After graduation, she completed an internship at E&J Gallo Winery in their enology research lab. Allison was also awarded a two-year assistantship at Oregon State University, earning a M.S. in Food and Fermentation Science, with a focus on wine microbiology. Upon graduation Allison was hired by White Labs, a small yeast production company in San Diego. She spent three years as their yeast culture specialist, acting as a curator of over 100 yeast and bacteria strains, as well as directing the bacteria & wild yeast lab. Allison became an expert in native isolates and helped to discover Rogue’s ‘Beard Yeast’. She is currently working at a freelance fermentation scientist helping the local San Diego community to better understand fermentation, food science, and urban microflora.
