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.  12 students in grades 9-12 from across New York State participated in food safety activities led by food safety graduate students. 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.  Materials are posted here and can be requested from Travis Chapin at <tkc24@cornell.edu. The conference was sponsored by the New York State Cooperative Extension Service at Cornell University
