Sessions cover topics such as electronic record-keeping\, workforce training\, chemical safety\, food adulteration prevention\, seafood pathogen detection\, audit readiness\, product development\, environmental air quality\, and alternative protein innovations. The series is designed for food producers\, processors\, seafood businesses\, entrepreneurs\, quality assurance staff\, extension educators\, students\, faculty\, regulatory professionals\, and technical specialists\, with particular relevance for those working with food safety training\, compliance systems\, seafood hazards\, product development\, and emerging technologies in food processing. \nFood businesses and professionals face increasing regulatory expectations\, evolving hazards\, and rapid technological change. By addressing real-world topics such as digital compliance systems\, chemical handling\, adulteration prevention\, seafood pathogen detection\, and audit preparation\, the series helps participants stay current and make informed\, practical decisions. Participants will gain practical tools\, real-world case studies\, and actionable strategies related to training programs\, compliance documentation\, safe chemical use\, adulteration prevention\, seafood safety\, product innovation\, and environmental controls—knowledge they can immediately apply in their operations\, classrooms\, or regulatory work. \nFood Adulteration Training\nDetecting harmful bacteria like Vibrio parahaemolyticus in seafood is critical for public health\, but traditional lab methods can be slow\, costly\, and technically complex. Addressing this need\, Drs. Gulnihal Ozbay and Ali Parsaeimehr from Delaware State University have developed an innovative\, colorimetric PCR-based detection method that is both rapid and accessible. \nTheir method targets a specific virulence gene and uses a DNAzyme signaling probe to produce a visible color change\, allowing detection by the naked eye. This approach can identify the bacterium at very low concentrations in just two hours\, offering a significant advantage over conventional techniques that require more time\, expensive equipment\, and specialized training. \nRecently granted a provisional international patent\, this cost-effective and user-friendly technology is designed to empower on-site screening. It holds great promise for aquaculturists\, hatchery managers\, and food safety inspectors\, particularly in resource-limited settings\, enhancing our ability to ensure seafood safety from harvest to market. \nTo Register and Receive Webinar Zoom Link URL:/calendar/event/food-safety-webinar-series-practical-colorimetric-method/ CATEGORIES:Conferences & Workshops,Online Events ORGANIZER;CN="91±¬ÁÏ Cooperative Extension":MAILTO:extension@maine.edu LOCATION:/calendar/event/food-safety-webinar-series-practical-colorimetric-method/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260710T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260710T170000 DTSTAMP:20260521T041259 CREATED:20260515T155928Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260515T155928Z UID:10010730-1783677600-1783702800@umaine.edu SUMMARY:Zillman Art Museum Exhibitions DESCRIPTION:The Zillman Art Museum’s current exhibitions will be on display starting May 15th through September 5th\, 2026. \nExhibitions featured: Gerri Rachins: Selected Works on Paper\, 2008 – 2025; Helter Skelter Paradise: Sam Cady; Thuan Vu: Kintsugi in the New World; Under the Big Top: Works from the Collection\, Featuring Alexander Nolan; and Society & Power: Curatorial Intern 2026. \nNote: Thuan Vu: Kintsugi in the New World and Society & Power: Curatorial Intern 2026 will be on display through August 22\, 2026.
