The talk will be followed by refreshments – including tempe(h)!

Since pursuing his PhD in food science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Dr. Driando has received 33 national and international awards for his work in tempeh fermentation, food science, entrepreneurship, and science communication. Dr. Driando first-authored The Tempeh Bible. the world’s most up-to-date manuscript on tempeh and tempeh fermentation, published in CRFSFS, one of the world’s most prominent food science journals.
