Postdoctoral Research Associate in the School of Pharmacy at the University of
Reading, and a Teaching Fellow in Sensory Science in the Department of Food and
Nutritional Science. Stephanie decided to step down to focus more on her
current roles. She will still be involved in the group as a UK representative. However,

Martha Skinner, first E3S SESRG chair
As some of you may already know, I’ve been Chair of the E3S SESRG since founding it in 2015. I’ve worked hard to lead the group to what it is today, but I’ve loved every minute of it. One of the main aims was to connect early career researchers in sensory and consumer scientists from across Europe. I feel very lucky to have met such a wonderful group of likeminded individuals, and I feel proud with what we’ve managed to achieve in such a short time, by coming together and working towards common goals. You can see a summary of our activities and achievements at the end of this article, but first, it is with sadness to announce that I’m stepping down from my position in leading the group.

Glace Review on Measures of Emotional State: A Multidisciplinary Approach
Nicolas Seince, Master student at Sanofi (Compiègne, France)
Currently, I am doing my Master internship at Sanofi which is a French multinational pharmaceutical company. It develops several products such as pills and creams. I am currently working on a project to establish a sensory laboratory to help the development of new products. I have found that one of the main goals of sensory and hedonic tests is to evaluate user experience which is mainly influenced by the emotional states of panelists. I decided from this evidence to identify measures of emotional state which can be applied during sensory and hedonic tests. The goal of this review is to develop measurements of emotional states which help to precisely evaluate panelists’ experiences during testing sessions.
