To say that Agricultural and Human Sciences (AHS) new Department Head Ben Chapman is busy would be an understatement. In addition to serving as the department head, Chapman is also the team lead for the Safe Plates Program, a multidisciplinary outreach, training, and research group focused on reducing foodborne illness, and the project director for FoodCoVNET. He also serves as co-chair of the STOP Foodborne Illness board of directors, co-hosts of two food safety focused podcasts, and was considered a nationally referenced food safety expert throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. In all his roles, Chapman remains focused on preventing foodborne illness, promoting food safety education along the food supply chain, and providing support to AHS students, faculty and staff.
