From Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) to Court: Importance of Science in the Forensic Field
The fascinating worlds of forensic science and crime scene investigation (CSI) have been the inspiration for several popular television series and films.

The American Chemical Society Student Chapter at AUS will share their experience in this field as well.
The event will include:
