🧫 Exploring Dairy Microbiology at Washington State University!

From August 10–14, Dr. Gülhan Ünlü hosted 10 high school students for a hands on Dairy Microbiology Workshop. Participants made yogurt and buttermilk, studied fermentation, identified bacteria, extracted DNA, and conducted laboratory experiments.

Students also participated in sensory evaluations of dairy products and toured the WSU Creamery and Ferdinand’s Ice Cream Shoppe, connecting their lab experiences to real world dairy production and food science careers.

With guidance from graduate students, an undergraduate researcher, and former workshop participants, students gained valuable hands on experience while exploring future opportunities in STEM and dairy science.
