Together With CSU Chico Women In STEM And The California Section Of The American Chemical Society

*”Beer, Cheese & Wine”* – was an exciting collaboration between CSU, Chico Chemistry and Biochemistry Department, CSU, Chico Women in STEM and the California Section of the American Chemical Society! We learned how chemistry plays a fascinating role in crafting the food and beverages we love. This event opened with a unique opportunity to taste, learn, and connect over hors d’oeuvres, wine, and beer.

We heard from top experts in their fields: Aimée Sunseri of New Clairvaux Winery, Dr. Glen P. Fox, and Dr. Moshe Rosenberg from UC Davis. They explored the science and chemistry behind brewing, winemaking, and cheesemaking, sharing insights that will deepened our appreciation for each craft.
