Epidemiology Challenge C [Trial]

Post by Jim_R »

Discussion for the "Think Like an Epidemiologist Challenge" in New Jersey SO.

-Cool?
-Correctamundo. And that\'s what we\'re gonna be. We\'re gonna be cool. Now, I\'m gonna count to three, and when I count three, you let go of your mouse, and back away from the keyboard. But when you do it, you do it cool. Ready? One... two... three.

Yes, but if I am reading it correctly, then I think that means for New Jersey, it doesn't talk about nationals. What is the nationals trial even this year anyway?

As far as I know/read from the website, Epi Challenge requires you to complete a study ahead of time, then discuss your results at the competition. Disease Detectives is just studying ahead of time and taking a test at the competition.

Correct. I've never competed in DD, but I did study it for a short time my first year in SO. DD basically gives you a scenario and you have to answer stuff about it and predict stuff or conduct an analysis or something right? And it's a test on site. Epi is basically coming up with your own study and walking it through the steps (from hypothesis to analysis). It's a little different from other events because you have to submit a proposal of your study electronically which gets scored at Regionals and then you conduct the study and make a poster about it, which you present/discuss at States.

I feel like this would be a great event to cycle with Disease Detectives or experimental design. But having this, disease, and exp design would be kind of pointless.... afterall this is basically a combination of DD and Exp D only with a little more prep work...
