Text: Prof. Lisa Duizer
Department of Food Science
Lisa: The research that I am currently involved in involves studying older adults,
[Music fades out]
so I'm going into long-term care homes and I'm 
trying to find food 
[University of Guelph logo and text fade out]
that is appealing to 
the older adult, that has good nutrition and that they want to eat. 
And so what is exciting is that there are direct 
implications for people to have improved
quality of life, for family members to 
have a loved one that is actually engaged in
what they're eating and they are just 
generally happier people.

Lisa: Because I do sensory evaluation, somebody once told me to trust my senses
and I think in the research that I do, that's very important because when you eat a food you immediately need to respond to the
sensory properties of that food. 
But in the greater context of life it also works that you need to trust your senses
and I like to tell students actually that you should never second guess yourself
[Music fades in]
because your senses were probably right the first time.
