We're going back to the beginning of #ForensicBites with our first piece! Ever wonder if we could get more from a fingerprint than personal identification? Researchers showed that we can get chemical signatures from 💥 and 💊 out of a single fingerprint.

TWO DAYS left to register for #GRSForensics2022! I am so excited for: young scientists sharing their research *in person*, networking over posters and beers (thanks @QIAGEN), the mentorship panel and much, much more. Agenda up SOON! grc.org/forensic-analysis-of… #forensicDNA #phdchat

New opportunity to support Forensic Science Research is in the Collaboration Hub. This project aims to create a public web portal to allow digital evidence investigators to query the database and obtain a list of evidential artifacts for mobile apps. ow.ly/aJqb50JhGyx

Awesome work show cased here by @BakengSeAfrika! @KatBrown086 and I wrote about the use of 3D printing for reconstruction of burned/fragmented remains in our 2020 paper which you can read here if you're interested. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Always up for collaborations too 🤩

Bone Trauma Workshop prep!
Traumatically altered bone is fragile. We scanned the mid-shaft of a femur from the @UPAnthro collection that experienced blunt force trauma and then 3D printed it using a @Sinterit powder printer thanks to @BuildVolume and @DirisanaPlus teams!
Between routine drug screenings and the worsening #opioidcrisis, the demand for urine drug testing is at an all-time high. But can certain co-prescribed medicines cause false positive results for those recovering from opioid #addiction? #forensicscience

Here's a DNA highlight as part of #NationalForensicScienceWeek Did you know that more than 99% of DNA is the same between all humans? CBI DNA analysts use the less than 1% of DNA that distinguishes people to help solve crimes.
