The Science of Food Safety: Spotlight on Candace Cole

Throughout high school, Cole prioritized taking extra science classes, and by the time she got to California State University, Northridge (CSUN), she was set on majoring in biology. But an upper division immunology class helped Cole realize that she wanted to be more involved in research. “My immunology professor highlighted current research, and we learned lessons about how research is being applied to different topics that we were studying in immunology,” she recalled. “It also helped that she was openly gay. [I could see] openly gay scientists doing research. I could see myself doing that, because she's doing it.”
