A total of forty high school teachers spent two hours investigating an outbreak of foodborne illness using a combination of microbiological and eipdemiological techniques. Cornell University held an interactive workshop through the Cornell Institute of Biology Teachers on Food Safety Investigation in the Science Classroom on January 14, 2012. Twenty teachers attended this one-hour session, which involved an interactive demonstration of investigating a foodborne illness outbreak. Dr. Alicia Orta-Ramirez and Travis Chapin from the Department of Food Science at Cornell University traveled to White Marsh, Maryland to present an interactive workshop on Food Science and Food Safety Investigations in the Classroom for middle and high school chemistry, life science, and nutrition and consumer science teachers from Harford County Public Schools. The event was hosted by Steve Andon of TIC Gums at the company's headquarters and production facility on April 28, 2012. |
