Cornell University hosted a 2 1/2 day workshop on food safety as part of the 4H Career Explorations conference at Cornell June 28-30  Our lab group hosted 12 high school students from across the state June 28-30, 2011 in grades 9-12. Students were presented with an outbreak scenario and spent the remainder of the time working in small groups and with graduate students to use epidemiological and molecular techniques to determine the most likely source of the outbreak as well as to suggest control and preventative measures.  This program was taught by food safety graduate students at Cornell and targeted juniors and seniors in high school. Materials are posted here and can be requested from Travis Chapin at <tkc24@cornell.edu. The conference is sponsored by the New York State Cooperative Extension Service at Cornell University
