Re: How does your position relate to my topic of molding/fungi in bread?

I'm sorry but without you including your previous message and question, I really can't evaluate your questions nor can I give you a complete or perhaps even a cogent answer.

To which field are you referring? Often a masters degree will be better for an industrial job.
Scientific research is solving problems. It has the advantage of a systemic approach to solving problems that, once worked out can be followed by other people sufficiently skilled in the field.

I'm not sure what you mean- other than the fact that my job involves fermentation and microbiology.
I've been doing my present job for a little less than 2 years.
I've been a research scientist or regulatory scientist for 25 years.
I'm not sure what project you are referring to.
If you have the background and inclination, my job is fun. If you lack my training and interest in the field, it would be an impossible job.
Wet bread will mold faster given a reasonably equitable temperature.
