I aim to build on my existing experience and knowledge through industry events and technical forums, applying this information to create a bridge of expertise between our labs and industry needs.
What is your favorite chicken dish?
With a love of Italian fare, my favorite would have to be Chicken Francese. You just can’t go wrong with the egg-battered filet combined with lemon, butter, wine and pasta!
