Synopsis
SCI's Food Group's annual 'Food for Thought' evening event will be held on 20 May at the IPA offices (44 Belgrave Square, London SW1X 8QS), London. This is a great opportunity to hear presentations from the winners of the 2013 Young Scientist competition and the winners of the 2013 Nursten Symposium. Both competitions were sponsored by SCI's Food Group, with the IFST co-sponsoring the Young Scientist competition, and the RSC co-sponsoring the Nursten symposium.
As well as hearing from the four winners from last year's competitions, we are delighted that Dr Ruramayi M Nzuma-Mswaka will round off the evening's presentations with a presentation of her work developing a new method for detection of Campylobacter jejuni.
Food for Thought 2014 follows the Group's AGM which is open to SCI members and guests (only members are eligible to vote).
