CSI - Myth vs. Fact

Join presenter Lynne Dean, a forensic scientist and retired latent fingerprint examiner with the King County Sheriff's Office in Seattle, Wash., as she explores how crime scenes are processed for evidence. You will learn how a forensic fingerprint laboratory works, discuss photographs from real crime scenes, and determine what you see as evidence. You'll also participate in hands-on exercises at home to give you a true "feel" for working with evidence and discover how to distinguish fact from fiction when it comes to your favorite CSI-style TV shows. Student participation is encouraged! This class is for students 18 and older, as some of the content and photos are considered graphic. In addition, participants will need a roll of clear tape (like Scotch tape) and their choice of one of the following: a clear plastic water bottle, ceramic mug (like a coffee cup), or clear sheet protector. Those items will be part of the hands-on exercises they will do during the Zoom presentation.
