Cornell University hosted a food safety workshop for thirteen high school science teachers from across New York State on July 24-25, 2012. Teachers spent four hours per day with Dr. Teresa Bergholz and Jihun Kang at the food safety workshop and participated in a mock foodborne disease outbreak investigation, collected and analyzed microbiological samples, extracted DNA, and were introduced to DNA fingerprinting techniques through an interactive DNA model. |
