Vermillion County 4-H Member Alyson Chaney, pictured in the middle, wrote about her experience with Health Daze Workshop in Vermillion County hosted by Purdue Extension-Vermillion County

“Thanks Becky Holbert for planning the 4-H Health Daze week. So far I have had an awesome time learning about forensic science and health careers. The coolest was the cadaver lab at ISU where I even felt a heart and lung! We also had fun getting makeup done to look like injuries at Union Hospital Simulation Center. I’m looking forward to another great day tomorrow!”

Day 2: Union Hospital

*Went out on the helipad atop Union Hospital. They learned about the engineering and security that most youth hadn’t thought about.

*Visited the SIM Center- youth “saved a man’s life”, “delivered a baby”, and handled complications.

*youth sat in and observed a medical team meeting at the hospital

*youth got the opportunity to compare healthy and smoker’s lungs, healthy hearts with diseased hearts, as well as veins at the Cadaver Lab at ISU

*youth visited the athletic training/physical therapy program at ISU.

Vermillion County Health Daze

Teens from Vermillion County, both 4-H and non-4-H members, ages 15-18 yrs old, learned basics between the differences of forensics and anthropology through Dr. Phillips’ powerpoint and then learned to apply some of that knowledge to specific case pictures he has been called upon to help identify and date remains.

Day 1 Forensic Science/Anthropology presented by Indiana State University:

They learned to:

*’Sex’ skeletal remains (skull, femur, pelvic pieces, etc.)==some by using charts, others by using calipers

*Determine which remains were older by comparing same bones

*Determine descent of deceased by measuring the nasal aperture of the skull and why there is a difference in size of aperture determined by climate: African, European, vs. Asian descent

*Determine between animal and human remains

*Learned about cultural burial sites

*Dentistry and cultures, time periods, etc.
