Cornel Ceape: Researcher, and Fisher

https://www.acadian-sturgeon.com/our-story/ Cornel is extremely well educated with his PhD, he is very well spoken at a fast pace! I loved how he spoke off the cuff, and very intelligently. Which was a delight. He speaks about upbringing on the countryside in Romania – proudly - and learning from his family and an important relationship with his professor who was 80 when he started his PhD! Take a look at his website for more about the company. Take a look at www.letstastecanada.ca for the next post.

P. Williams: Dietitian and Instructor

Dr. P. Williams Patty Williams is a Professor at Mount Saint Vincent University, Director at Food Action Research Centre, for food security and policy change. Dr. Patty Williams is one of the most brilliant humans. Do not be fooled by her easy way of speaking as she knows her stuff! It is one of my favourite things about her. There is a resiliency to how she sees people and completes her work. She speaks to how her clinical experience as a dietitian has shaped her research to include people affected at the table, is a champion for the leading edge of food security work. Plus she is a delight, and very intelligent. She even helped to create a board game! See more at the blog www.letstastecanada.ca/podcast and the blog dedicated to her (please note there is a delay on the blog) - plus Happy St Patty's Day!
