Disease Detectives

[pjgscioisamazing]

Sorry for the double post, but what was the nationals test like?

It was surprisingly not written by the CDC (I think) and it was about Salmonella and this thing cryptosporidium. It was long, it took me and my partner up until 3 minutes left to finish it. Most of the questions weren't that bad, but some were annoying/hard. I ended up getting 7th somehow

What kind of questions were there?

Math was prevalence, rate, relative risk, and a few others. For rate, there was a table and there were some blanks in either the # of cases, rate, or # of people in population columns. It asked about an epi curve. Some interpreting data. There was odds ratio and you had to interpret that answer.

Ok, thanks. Congrats on the 7th place, and on the $2500 in meteorology too.

Thanks. My partner and I were so surprised with 2nd in the event, when they called Meteorology for that scholarship thingy we were EXTREMELY surprised.

Congrats pjgscioisamazing on the scholarship. Funny enough, when Climate was around 3 years ago, my partner and I took the silver at Nationals. You're lucky to have received such a nice scholarship!

There's really nothing new this year, I suspect, so the preparation should be lighter. Yeah, less work.

why is the topic the same as it was last year for this event?
That doesnt make much sense to get people whom are already good at it another chance at the same even t no w does it
