Bio
Angela Shaw
I have mentored Beatrice for the past two years as my undergraduate research student. During this time I have witnessed Beatrice be recognized by Iowa State University as an undergraduate student in Food Science. As her mentor, Beatrice has shown me what excellence in research and academics means. Beatrice has focused her research within on pre- and post-harvest food safety interventions for fruit and vegetable growers. She has explored methods for controlling E.coli O157:H7 within the field setting with strawberries and how both chemical based sanitizers can eliminate E.coli O157:H7, E.coli non-O157 STEC, Salmonella spp., and Listeria monocytogenes within broth study. She also led a mini project discovering antibiotic use for elimination of background flora with produce samples. Beatrice DOES NOT require micro management, learns very quickly, and completes projects BEFORE deadline. She started in my lab with very limited food microbiology experience and now teaches graduate students on proper procedures and how to conduct microbiology experience. Her research has been showcased at local and regional fruit and vegetable conferences throughout the Midwest and has helped strengthen our current Good Agricultural Practices workshops taught through Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. Additionally, one of her projects was displayed in poster forms at IFT annual conference this past July 2014 in Chicago. She currently has one peer reviewed publications and another currently under review. Through her research projects she has completed literature reviews/searchers, prepared portions of the two journal articles, and has done statistical analysis using SAS on her data with interpretation. In addition to her research excellence, she has assisted with at least five extension programs for both industry and youth. Within these extension programs, she led groups through food microbiology procedures, provided assistance in the completion of their individual projects, and assisted with recruiting programs for the department. She has also been the undergraduate student teaching assistant for Food Microbiology undergraduate/graduate course. As the teaching assistant she assisted the graduate student lead with preparation for all laboratory exercises and assists the students within the actual laboratory experiences. Beatrice has also been VERY active within the Department of Food Sciences and Human Nutrition’s undergraduate clubs and has been multiple award winning teams within product development. She is seen as a leader within the department because of her dedication and leadership traits. The only weakness I see with Beatrice is that she can be shy when she first meets you, but comes out of her shell very quickly. Although, I would love to keep Beatrice as my program, I believe students need to have diverse research and educational experiences to develop into an excellent food scientist.
