Brittany Towers Lewis

Brittany Towers Lewis (@theblackfoodscientist) has her BS & MS degree in Food Science from The Ohio State University & Certified Culinary Science degree from the Research Chef Association. She has been in the food industry for over 8 years and has worked on over 30 food & beverage products you see on the store shelves today and is currently a Sr. Manager for product development at Vital Proteins. Her love for food and science propelled her to start her science focused instagram page @theblackfoodscientist where she teaches her followers science concepts that everyone can understand by relating it back to foods and beverages. She also pushes healthy (and sometimes indulgent) eating on her page by posting Meatless Monday recipes each week to get people out of their comfort zones with healthy vegetarian/vegan meals that will help save people money, improve overall health and help save the environment. With a passion for teaching she is also involved in many non-profit organizations teaching students about food science and careers in STEM. An Ohio native now living in Chicago, Brittany lives in the city with her Husband Brandon and dog Basil. When she is not teaching others she is trying out new recipes, trying all the delicious food Chicago has to offer, running outside with her family and teaching Pure Barre in Chicago.
