As a serious food toxicologist with 18 years of experience as a University of California faculty member, I enjoy conducting research and developing food safety educational programs.
For the past eight years, I have combined my previous background as a musician with my scientific and communication training to develop an innovative, humorous, and effective musical approach for food safety education.
Technological advances in music synthesizers and computer-based sequencing programs have allowed me to become a "one-person band." I develop parodies of popular songs by re-writing their lyrics, composing and recording musical arrangements, and producing the music. The songs can be listened to directly on this website using Flash. In addition, I have distributed nearly 20,000 audio CDs to a variety of audiences worldwide. I also give 25-30 live performances annually throughout the country at gatherings of scientific societies, food professionals, agricultural producers and processors, health professionals, educators, public organizations and students from grade school to college age.
I hope you enjoy the music!
