Celestina Ibitayo Omohimi says she chose a career in food science because, as one of 11 children in her family, she learned early on the importance of food—and she longed to study the science behind it. She is the only one of her siblings to attend university, earning a bachelor’s degree in 2005 and recently completing a master’s program in food quality control and assurance at the University of Agriculture, Abeokuta.
