Brief Description: Today’s crime scene investigations might cause Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s legendary sleuth, to retract his analysis of, “Elementary, my dear Watson.” In fact, the demands on the investigators are anything but elementary. Investigations require a keen sense of observation, extensive use of the scientific method, and physical and biological expertise. The field is often peopled with multiple investigators, all with their own areas of skill and knowledge. Become detectives as we put on the hat of the forensic scientist and determine the facts in a simulated crime scene. Discover how to objectively apply the techniques of physical and natural sciences in examining forensic evidence. Stalk the trail with a famous tracker. Analyze the smallest traces of human evidence using DNA profiling as we become molecular scientists aboard the Destiny traveling science laboratory. Work with a world-famous forensic anthropologist who will help us as we “leave no bone unturned.” “Registration begins September 29, 2009.”
