5.Foodie and a Scientist - you LOVE food. Food is one of your passions in life. You love to try new foods, experience cuisines from different cultures, and gather with others to break bread. You also love science and are an expert food scientist with passion for new technologies in the food industry.
6.Collaborator- You are willing to find solutions by trusting others and get energized while working in a team environment. You are not afraid to take responsibility for the mistakes and don't hesitate to give credit to other contributors. You are an active listener!
