=Teaching Science through Food and Biotechnology= Presenter: Dr. Rene Massengale - Harrisburg University Room 106A 9:15 - 10:00 and 1:00 - 1:45

Session Description
Would you like to host an F.S.I. training session at your school? F.S.I. or Food Safety Investigation is an exciting scientific field in which scientists track the source of foodborne disease outbreaks from illness to source. FSIs (Food Safety Investigators) also track the source of contamination within a food industry location from the food product all the way back to the contamination source. In this session, you will learn about innovative methods of teaching science, molecular biology, and epidemiology through the “lens” of Food Safety Investigations in the classroom using computer and lab-based learning technologies. Dr. Massengale is a food and water quality microbiologist with experience in and out of the classroom. Join her today for this hands-on experience!
