The Science of Food Safety: Spotlight on Candace Cole
Throughout high school, Cole prioritized taking extra science classes, and by the time she got to California State University, Northridge (CSUN), she was set on majoring in biology.

[I could see] openly gay scientists doing research. I could see myself doing that, because she's doing it.” -- American Society for Microbiology
