N1 - Funding Information: Attending IAFP 2019 as a Student Travel Scholarship recipient was an eye-opening and gratifying experience. I would like to thank the IAFP Foundation, the Selection Committee, and the IAFP Staff for reviewing my career goals for this scholarship. As a doctoral candidate in Food Technology, I found the symposia, technical sessions, poster sessions, and roundtable discussions I attended very enlightening. IAFP gave me the opportunity to learn and meet professionals around the globe who are constantly tackling or combatting food safety-related issues by using current and innovative approaches. The connections I made with food safety professionals for possible research collaborations were enthralling and no small measure to my career. I attended both the Student PDG and the Seafood Safety and Quality PDG meetings, where I made suggestions, most specifically on the implementation of non-thermal technologies for the assurance of safety and shelf-life extension in food industries. This idea was welcomed as a step in the right direction, since consumer demand for minimally processed or fresh foods is increasing. I also attended the African Continental Association for Food Protection Affiliate meeting, where members are working hand-in-hand to ensure food safety in Africa. Way to go, Africa! My assigned mentor, Dr. Preetha Biswas, Director of Microbiology Research and Development at Neogen Corporation, was my guardian angel! She really made me feel comfortable and welcome at the meeting, and her experiences and enthusiasm motivate me. The highlight for this meeting for me was my scheduled time at the IAFP Foundation booth. There, I met generous people who donated money to such a great cause. These individuals are the reason why a Ph.D. student like me from a developing country was able to attend this conference! I am profoundly grateful to all those who contributed. All these and many other experiences encourage me to keep contributing toward ensuring that food is safe in my home country and around the world. I look forward to many more years with IAFP. Food safety is everyone’s business! Funding Information: Attending IAFP in /ouisville was fulfilling, energizing, and exceeded my every expectation. I would first like to share my immense gratitude to the Selection Committee in selecting me for this honor, to the IAFP Staff for their logistical support, and to the IAFP Foundation and its donors for funding my experience. A highlight of the Annual Meeting was the Student P'* Meeting, /uncheon, and -Minute Thesis Competition. To see so many students in one place who are interested in becoming more engaged in IAFP and our field is immensely gratifying. It also forces me to reÀect upon my first meeting in Tampa, when I was trying to figure out my place in the group. To then be in the community with students and those invested in our experience at the luncheon, with a healthy dose of competition as my peers shared their research to win generously donated prizes, validated that this is the place for me. The Annual Meeting also represented the culmination of my work in co-coordinating the Student P'* Mentor Program and P'* Committee /iaison Program, both of which have been designed for other students to find their areas of connection within IAFP and become more involved overall. A large portion of my time was spent attending the roundtables and symposia organized by our membership, two of which I helped convene. While many I attended were focused on my areas of interest ± communication, extension, and education ± it was fun to attend some outside my research areas to re-main engaged with the broader field of food safety. It is exciting to attend a session and learn about some of the cutting-edge work being done and identify how I can apply that to my work at 9irginia Tech. My experience would not have been the same without the networking breaks and luncheons. I was able to connect with my mentor, 'r. Channah 5ock from the 8niversity of Arizona, during Tuesday¶s lunch to chat about our work, learn about her career path, and discuss the broader IAFP experience. Some of my time was spent at the Student P'* booth in the (xhibit +all selling t-shirts and stickers, and fielding questions on how members can become more engaged with us. I now realize that each time I attend an Annual Meeting, I recognize more people and feel more confident in striking up a conversation with someone I may not already know but will likely see again next year. This feeling of connection allows me to have a more enriching and elevated experience, one that I have not been able to find in other associations. Again, I am filled with gratitude for being awarded this travel scholarship. I appreciate its impact on my experience, and look forward to continued contributions to IAFP in the future. 8ntil Cleveland!

Des Moines, Iowa  – The International Association for Food Protection (IAFP) will present Student Travel Scholarships to the following individuals at IAFP 2021 , July 18–21, in Phoenix, Arizona. Sponsored by the IAFP Foundation, the Student Travel Scholarships provide travel funds to enable selected students to travel to and participate in IAFP 2021 .

Jessica Brown recently received her M.S. in Animal Sciences from the University of Florida in Gainesville, with a concentration in meat science and food safety. Ms. Brown’s thesis predominantly focused on the microbial validation of a restructured beef jerky product that could be produced under the constraints of an Ethiopian butcher shop. This project consisted of a product development, along with a series of microbial validation studies to evaluate the reduction of Salmonella enterica, E. coli O157:H7, and Campylobacter jejuni during the drying. The goal was to develop a process that could be utilized by Ethiopian processors to generate a safe,

protein rich, and shelf-stable product using starting material that might otherwise be less desirable. Ms. Brown earned her B.S. in Animal Sciences from the University of Florida and will begin her Ph.D. studies in the fall of 2021 at the University of Wisconsin – Madison.

Shiyu Cai is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Food Science at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Ms. Cai’s current dissertation work tackles the problem of black yeast spoilage in the beverage industry using tools from applied food processing and fungal genomics.

iafp student travel scholarship

We’re delighted to introduce the recipients of the WordCamp Asia 2024 Diversity Scholarship : Astha Jain , a law student and active WordPress community member from India, and Rong and Green Yang , dedicated WordPress professionals from Taiwan. These scholarships aim to increase diversity in our community, celebrating individuals who bring unique backgrounds and skill sets to the platform.

We are awarding scholarships to three outstanding individuals to cover their expenses for travel. While Astha Jain unfortunately cannot attend our event this year, we celebrate her accomplishments and hope to see her at future events.

Astha Jain

Astha Jain ( @beingastha ) is a final-year law student passionate about exploring the intersection of law and technology. She finds WordPress an essential platform for gaining experience, sharing her knowledge, and bridging those two fields. An active member of the Indian WordPress community, Astha was an organiser and speaker for recent WordCamps in Bhopal and Mumbai, respectively.

This year, we’ve chosen two recipients from the event’s host country. They are based in areas away from Taipei and the scholarships will enable their stay in the region without financial burden.

Green Yang ( @yanggh ) is the founder of Ke2B Studio , providing WordPress website services. His experience in branding, marketing, and product management adds a distinct perspective to his web development work. Green is a passionate community organiser, playing a vital role in WordPress Meetups in northern Taiwan and leading the WordPress Taoyuan Dinner/ Meetups since 2019.

Green Yang

Rong Tian (田小蓉, @g618 ) is a freelance web designer at a local design firm in New Taipei, 無限創意整合行銷 (Infinite Creative Marketing). As a single mother of three, she leverages WordPress for work-life balance and actively participates in three WordPress Meetup groups in Taiwan: Taipei, Taoyuan, and Changhua. Her children are also developing an interest in WordPress, inspiring her even more to connect with the broader community in person for professional development and community involvement.

Please join us in welcoming Green and Rong to WordCamp Asia 2024! We’re excited for the conversations and connections their presence will inspire, and we encourage you to connect with them. I  hope this scholarship promotes inclusivity by welcoming diverse voices and perspectives into our community.
