Disease Detectives B/C

[EastStroudsburg13]

In addition to the scenarios, you sometimes have to define vocabulary terms, list the ten steps, match diseases with what they're caused by, and identify famous epidemiologists. The latter three are usually used for tiebreakers, at least from my experience, but you should study them anyway. And to get other information about the event, try googling the stuff on the rule sheet and as always:

you can always check the Disease Detective Wiki for help.

what is the easiest disease to do

ya we need to know what disease is easiest because it is a school project not for science olympiad

[EastStroudsburg13]

I don't think there is any easiest disease to do, although the more common ones would be easier than an exotic one nobody's heard of. However, that doesn't have to do with Science Olympiad, so please try to keep that off the forum.

fyi regionals is easy
in my state at least compared to states
so studying just the simple stuff is not going to get u a medal at states

We (Me and gsimmons) are starting disease detectives we are probabably going to do pancriatic cancer (patrick swazy is aswome) so is that a good one to do

[EastStroudsburg13]

You don't pick a particular disease for Disease Detective, you have to conduct a mock study for a certain scenario and figure out what its source is, the odds ratio, stuff like that. And then there are other knowledge-based questions. But if this is for a science fair/ report, please don't post them on the forums, or if you must, put them in General Chat. Please.

Last year at states, I remember we had a lot of graph analyzing to do- are there any good websites for that because I've been looking around and haven't really found much....

we changed our minds we are doing a general cancer topic
