"I am very excited about taking on this role and working with the many excellent editors and authors of AJFST's. This is an honor, but more importantly, it is an important service role for the discipline," said Bruce. "My primary goal is to publish articles that are based on rigorous research and have direct applicability to the industry; my secondary goal is to raise the global reputation of UIC in the field of food science and technology."
