Microbe Mission... Trial Event!!

[redreading249]

Hi People!!
Are any of you guys on a trial event for nationals??
Is one of those Microbe Madness??
Discuss this event here!!!

We need to learn a lot of nationals.... Regional, State, and National information

What is Microbe Mission

[redreading249]

Here are the rules http://soinc.org/sites/default/files/up ... obmiss.pdf
It is an event where you analize data about viruses and single celled organisms

There seems to be so much information in this event, especially at the nationals level. Do you know if we only have to learn it up to regional/state levels as opposed to nationals and/or how in-depth we have to be with each subject? I wouldn't think we would have to know EVERY disease involving viruses because there are a lot...

Microbe Mission was great!! Out of 100 questions I think my partner and I did really good... congrats to the top 3 teams who got medals!! There were 47 teams who competed in this event and my partner and I got 6th over all. Great job everyone!!

My partner an I got fifth. It was slightly annoying though, because even though we studied everything on the rules, they put up a lot of stuff that was more like Disease Detectives question. Endemic and Epidemic levels, for example. Neither my partner or I did Disease Detectives, so we were really surprised to have gotten 5th!

[gyourkoshaven]

I think they mentioned it becoming an event in 2011(this past year was 2009, nats at ASU) during the closing ceremony at nats.

Where'd you find the results? My friend did it and wanted know what he got. This is for C division, i mean.

[gyourkoshaven]

I thought the only C trials were Out and Back along with Protein Modeling. They are listed on the right-hand side of the nats results page.
