Football season is in full swing, and with it comes opportunities to tailgate with family and friends. No one wishes to end the weekend with mild gastrointestinal symptoms, or worse, a hospitalization, after exposure to unsafe food pathogens, better known as “food poisoning.”The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate 48 million cases of food-borne illness occur annually in the United States, with 3,000 deaths per year.

Former President @JoeBiden visited @HarvardIOP this week for an off-record chat led by his ex-chief strategist Michael Donilon. I took the opportunity to thank him for helping free my former @WSJ colleague @EvanGershkovich from detention in Russia. https://t.co/DiAYDpSj0Z
