Happy 2014 Oregon Section IFT Members!
I am excited to ring in the New Year with a new type of OSIFT meeting, Family Fun Night. Bring your family (kids welcome!) to the Spaghetti Factory on Tuesday, January 21st.
Introducing: Sensory-sational! An evening of hands-on learning about sensory science with you and your kids and a pasta dinner! Who said learning about food science isn't fun for all ages and tasty too?!
Our very own sensory expert, Tyler Linscott, will be exploring the elusive Miracle Fruit: How a Berry Turns Sour into Sweet. Tyler is a master's student at Oregon State University, in the Sensory Science Lab under the guidance of Dr. Juyun Lim. He is currently studying how the interaction of odor and taste can affect perception.
Registration is open and you can sign up using the following Eventbrite link: http://osiftjan2014.eventbrite.com
Children are admitted at the discounted student rate ($13). Spouses are admitted at the discounted member rate ($30). The deadline to grab a seat is Friday, January 17th at 12pm.
For all you newcomers, our meetings kick off with a social hour at 5:30, followed by dinner at 6:30, announcements, and then our speaker.
Can't wait to meet your lovely families,
Linda Wechsler
