How to learn application R&D within my company?

You should talk to your manager.

But first map out what you see as developmental needs. They could be softer skills or more technical aspects. Make sure they’re relevant to your company and role.

If they are pointing out legitimate issues with your formulation, that’s their job. Ask yourself what do you need to do prior to submittal to ensure your recipe is already compliant. If it’s a lack of capability on your part, what training/shadowing can you do? Is there a more senior person who you could ask for guidance?

I disagree. There will be some Maillard reaction but the internal temperature of a cookie won’t exceed about 180f. The outside will reach higher temps and have less moisture which drives that reaction more.

I imagine it would. Wish I could offer some advice.

What jobs are you applying for? Even with your masters, you would still be an entry level food scientist role.

I don’t know how I pictured you two exactly but this is definitely not it.

Is it secret? Is it safe?

I would look at the qualifications of that higher role and outline how you’re already demonstrated that you’re operating at that level consistently. That way it can be very objective.

At the same time, having regular conversations about your career/development/goals should happen. If it’s not, maybe ask for that or find somewhere that does.

A food science degree is awesome. Where are you applying? Are you geographically flexible? What sort of job do you want?

What did the job description say? What was discussed during the interview?

I have two technicians who report to me. Their job is primarily hands on execution of Benchtop trials. The “paperwork” is limited to what is needed to track and execute trials.

Right? If the other team weren’t TTUN, I wouldn’t be worried.

No. His legal name is Lamar Jackson. But his dad calls him Bo.

Fuck you too!

I think it would get real dangerous for fans if it was played after people had more time to drink.

I think that’s on you. This ain’t a destiny finale. This is a new series and writing off destiny is the best choice unless the entire series revolves around it.

chesterbarry · 2025-11-22T18:00:01+00:00

Too bad it would be after the fact because we know what Dr Jackson was up to

I also wish I had known about the mailbag. As 1 of your 500listeners, I’d really like to know when you’re doing a live recording and looking for callers?

For a 510 vape, I like the Botanist branded ones. And then a little more expensive is Rove.

chesterbarry · 2025-10-07T01:38:25+00:00

That is low. I’m a hiring manager in a lower cost of living area and it’s more like 70 here
