Mentors, Milk & Dairy Innovations: Creamery Creations to Sensory Science-Audio | iNNOVATION Insights

What does innovation look like in food science, dairy research, and mentorship? In this episode of iNNOVATION Insights, host Dr. Eulanda Sanders interviews Dr. Stephanie Clark, a nationally recognized food scientist and dairy researcher with over 30 years of experience in dairy chemistry, microbiology, processing, and sensory evaluation. Dr. Clark shares her journey from growing up in 4-H on a small farm to becoming a leader in dairy science and higher education. She reflects on discovering food science “by accident,” building hands-on learning environments, and leading the revival of the Iowa State University Creamery—a project that blended innovation, storytelling, student leadership, and industry collaboration. ⚫This episode explores: ◾How mentorship shapes the next generation of scientists ◾What it takes to build experiential learning environments like a university creamery ◾The role of sensory evaluation in product development and food quality ◾Research insights from dairy science, goat milk, and milk quality studies ◾How innovation happens at the intersection of science, creativity, and problem-solving ◾Why asking “why” is one of the most powerful leadership tools in STEM Dr. Clark also discusses emerging trends in food science, including protein-forward products, clean labels, sustainability in frozen foods, and how dairy innovation can support health, wellness, and environmental goals. Whether you are a student, educator, researcher, or innovator, this conversation offers practical insights into how innovation unfolds in real-world science, education, and industry. ⚫Connect with Stephanie ◾LinkedIn:   / stephanie-clark-143a93328   ◾First Impressions Website: https://firstimpressions.fit/ ◾Facebook:   / stephanie.clark.7121   ⚫Subscribe to iNNOVATION Insights News https://www.innovation-and-insights.c... ⚫Timeline 00:00 Introduction to Innovation Insights 00:16 Meet Dr. Stephanie Clark: A Dairy Science Pioneer 02:52 The Journey to Food Science 09:12 Reviving the Iowa State University Creamery 15:27 Innovative Ice Cream Contests 24:19 Research and Mentorship in Dairy Science 28:12 Sensory Evaluation and Product Development 34:24 Exploring Food Product Development 34:52 Student Innovation in Dairy Product Competition 38:19 Mentorship and Career Aspirations 39:24 Launching a Consulting Business 45:52 Leadership and Questioning in Science 48:54 Emerging Trends in Food Science 54:24 The Importance of Asking Questions 01:01:00 Concluding Thoughts and Farewell ⚫iNNOVATION Insights - https://www.innovation-and-insights.com/ ⚫Links   / innovation-insights-us     / innovation-insights-academics     / innovation-insights-podcast     / innovation-insights-professional-services     / innovation-insights-future-pathways     / innovationinsights.us     / innovationinsights.global     / innovationandinsights     / innovation.insigh      / @innovationinsights-2023   https://x.com/INNO_Insights ⚫Connect with Eulanda Sanders, PhD: ◾LinkedIn:   / eulandasanders   ◾Facebook:   / eulanda.sanders.5   ◾Instagram: @YoSanders ◾TikTok: @yosand ◾X: @EulandaSanders ⚫Download a Free Copy "10 Tips to Tell Your Career Story" https://innovation-insights.mykajabi.... ⚫Collaborations & Partnerships Email: innovate@innovation-and-insights.com ⚫Visit the iNNOVATION Insights Store Discover exclusive gift items, empowering gift cards, transformative seminars and workshops, and free creative coloring pages. https://www.innovation-and-insights.c... ⚫Visit the iNNO INSIGHTS Store on Red Bubble https://www.redbubble.com/people/Inno... ⚫Subscribe to our YouTube channel /@innovationinsights-2023 #InnovationInsights #StephanieClark #FoodScienceInnovation #DairyScience #MentorshipInSTEM #ExperientialLearning #SensoryScience #icecream #cheese #4h #innovation #insights #food #science #nutrition #dairyproducts
