As the residents of the small town of Cedarville gathered for their annual potluck dinner, no one suspected that the dish that had been the talk of the town - a mouthwatering casserole made from a secret family recipe - would be the source of a deadly mystery. When several members of the community fall ill after consuming the casserole, it's up to a team of amateur epidemiologists to uncover the truth behind the recipe's deadly ingredient. But as they dig deeper, they soon realize that the casserole may be just the tip of the iceberg in a twisted web of secrets and deceit that threatens to tear the town apart. We will train the public health research team on epidemiological and statistical concepts to aid them in determining the source of the illness. Skills acquired include: understanding biostatistical associations in population health data, experiment design in real-world environments, and the ability to quantitatively blame family members next Thanksgiving.
