16 Students From Springfield High School Join Forensics Lab Today
Imagine you are a detective investigating on a murder scene, where do you start? On Thursday, March 28, VINSE welcomed 16 students from Springfield High School to our Forensics Lab. During the forensics lab program, the students solved a whodunnit-themed activity using several types of spectroscopies including Raman, FTIR, absorption and photoluminescence. They also extracted chlorophyll from spinach, analyzed perfumes and took spectra on different jewelry.
NanoGuides helped the students to answer forensic and fundamental scientific questions. Thanks to Jeremy Espano, Soren Smail, and Matthew Galazzo.
If your school is interested in this fun and scientific activity, please contact vinse@vanderbilt.edu for more information!
