Purpose:
| This Food Science and Human Nutrition (FSHN) Wiki has been provided so that you as student(s) and faculty interested in FSHN have a place to collaboratively build and discuss FSHN resources in a communal forum. As you explore and learn about the resources and websites provided edit the entries to reflect your experience working with each resource. The more the FSHN and the WSU community as a whole contribute the more comprehensive and useful the information becomes. This is an invitation to use this technology to benefit the WSU community and to express your opinions on the resources available. Feel free to make additional subdivisions to accommodate additional areas of interest. |
