Once, red abalone crowded the Northern California coast so thickly that, at some stretches, wading into the water almost invariably meant stubbing your toe against their soup bowl-sized shells. So the old stories say.
Congratulations to FST's Dr. David Mills, who joins ten other UC Davis researchers (within a total of 7,131) on the 2025 Clarivate annual Highly Cited Researchers list. This is Mills' eighth year in a row that he has been on the list - quite an accomplishment!
Back in high school, I had no doubt that college was the next step. However, the pressure of choosing a major was colossal! It felt like choosing the rest of my life when asked to select a major. I knew I wanted to do something creative, but I didn’t want to throw away all of my hard-earned A’s in physics, chemistry, and biology. After switching the major option about a hundred times, I finally registered under Undecided - Fine Arts for UC Davis.
Researchers Create New Tool to Track What’s Left After Processing Foods
For every juicy tomato or crunchy almond California grows, there’s a pile of pulp, hulls or scraps that often goes to waste. A new online tool, created by University of California, Davis researchers, tracks those agricultural byproducts aiming to find innovative ways to put them to use.
The food science and technology major offered at UC Davis is a well-rounded mix of theory and practice, with a hands-on learning approach being both effective and expected at California’s No.
The position of Junior Specialist provides technical or specialized expertise in the planning and execution of research projects in a Biosafety Level 2 (BSL-2) Laboratory.

Glen Fox, endowed professor of malting and brewing sciences at UC Davis, is quoted in a Sacramento Bee article published on August 2, 2025 titled, "Are evolving tastes and high costs killing Sacramento breweries? Experts weigh in". The article reports the closure of local breweries Track 7 and Device Brewing, both in Sacramento.
Whether you are a future food scientist or a regular foodie, the Food Tech Club at UC Davis is a great opportunity for students to grow and connect with others. For over 50 years, the Food Tech Club has served as a student chapter of the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) to connect students, faculty, professionals, and community members to something we all love: food!
