Aim 2 Current Efforts:
Cornell will be delivering a 2 1/2 day workshop on food safety as part of the 4H convention at Cornell (Travis - insert dates). This program will be taught by food safety graduate students at Cornell and is targeted towards juniors and seniors in high school. Materials will be posted here and can be requested from Travis Chapin at <tkc24@cornell.edu>.
Our food microbiology and safety laboratory will conduct two-one day workshop on food safety/protection and defense as part of the fall semester research program for the agricultural research program at North Carolina A&T SU. This program will be taught by the graduate students in the food and nutritional science and our audience will be high school. Salam will also help the graduate students who work in the food safety to schedule trainings for high school sites/teachers. There training will be in Fall 2011 and Spring 2012.
