A group of undergraduate students at Clemson University in South Carolina investigated whether dipping a piece of food into several different dips would transfer bacteria <em>into</em> the dip, and to what effect the <em>type</em> of dip had on the extent of bacterial contamination.</p> Thu, 27 Dec 2018 17:00:00 +0000 Joe Schwarcz PhD 7502 at /oss
