      Jakee – This is a very good question!

      I work in a university, so public policy kind of impacts every single project I work on.
      We get funded by the government, via the research councils, but they make decisions on what research should be done based on what they think society needs which is directed by public policy.

      The thing that impacts us the most is policies on salt and sugar in food. We have to reduce it and replace with something else so our food is more safe.

      This means lots of experiemtns using cool new ingredients! It’s really fun to research something like this becuase it will make everyone healthier!
