My @ucpress book #FromLabelToTable was published 1 year ago today! Get a copy if you haven't already: It's been a busy year. Check out my book promoting activities here: And here are some reviews of it:

Selfishly wondering whether my book on the history of FDA food labeling might one day help people piece together how we got here. #FromLabelToTable.

Absolutely love the video graphic accompanying this @nytimes story on the ongoing collapse of the @US_FDA: I count myself among the “F.D.A. watchdogs” who were once constructively critical—now deeply dismayed by the agency’s gutting.

Wrote a review for @HNet_Reviews of this great #foodstudies book, Ways of Eating, by Wurgaft & White:. Choice quote: “many of the things we imagine to be traditional or permanent features of our lives with food are, in fact, very recent arrivals.”

One more AI-related course certificate received! This one for Auburn University's Writing Across the Curriculum course "Teaching Critical Thinking with AI-Engaged Writing Assignments." .If you have any ideas for good university-level AI-engaged assignments, I'd love to hear them!

Check out this fun chat I had with historian David Parsons about "MAHA Moms" and food politics past and present on his podcast, Nostalgia Trap, "Ep 416 - America Eats Itself w/Xaq Frohlich": (Also on Apple Podcast, Spotify, and YouTube). #FromLabelToTable

Did this fun interview about my book, From Label to Table, with two food historians Kelly Spring and Matt Phillpott, part of their "Hungry Historians" podcast for @theforkfront : It's a new food studies series, but they've already lined up great speakers.

Unofficially, this was a Fulbright finalist application. Won't go into it further, but you can imagine. Very grateful to the Fulbright Denmark Commission for resurrecting my project!.

Very excited to announce I'm doing a research/teaching stay at @UniSouthDenmark Spring 2026 semester. Was awarded the 2025-2026 Distinguished Scholar in American Studies Grant from the Binational Commission for Educational Exchange between Denmark and The United States of America

Obtained a new certification: "AUAI: Experimenter" from @BiggioAuburn! Part of my month-long deep dive into how to use AI tools for food studies, STS, and humanities research and teaching. Will be sharing ideas in the months to come. I welcome your thoughts here on how to use AI.

RT @Eater: One woman’s quest to figure out why her beloved white cheddar popcorn started to disappoint

I'm quoted extensively in this fun @Eater article where @jayasax tries to reverse engineer an ingredients label for @smartfood white cheddar popcorn: The big question: was the product silently reformulated? Check out the story!

Today is Equal Pay Day, marking how many days the median woman would need to work into 2025 to earn what the median man earned in 2024. -Sharing this with my students to make them aware of it.-Thanking the working women around me for being exceptional despite this unfair reality
