Good afternoon,
I am pleased to share with you that we are now accepting student applications for the 2024 Forensic Science Mentoring Program. During this seven-week summer program students will have the opportunity to analyze evidence for case in the areas of forensic biology, forensic chemistry, and forensic toxicology. This program is located at our state-of-the-art facility in Horsham, PA and allows high schoolers the opportunity to receive hands on experience with current forensic science instrumentation. The position offers students an excellent opportunity to step into forensic science and truly see what it entails while developing communication and group work skills. Students will also have the chance to hear from guest speakers across all disciplines, engage in conversation with our scientists here, and visit local universities and colleges to learn more about their STEM programs. Interested students can follow the link here to apply. I would kindly ask that you pass this information and flyer below to any student that may be be interested and looking for a summer opportunity. Any questions can be sent to Savannah Baker ([email protected]).
Thank you,
Savannah Baker
FMI Program Coordinator
Hands-on Experiences
Students in the FMI Summer Science Program will learn through interactive, hands-on experiences using the same state-of-the-art instrumentation and techniques used in the world’s top forensic laboratories in three different forensic science disciplines:
Forensic Biology involves the identification of body fluids such as blood, semen and saliva from items of evidence. This is followed by DNA analysis used to identify the source of a biological sample.
Forensic Chemistry is the identification of controlled substances such as cocaine, marijuana and synthetic drugs. Also included is analysis of evidence from arson and explosives investigations.
Forensic Toxicology is the study of the effects of drugs and chemicals in the human body. This can be used to determine cause of death, impairment or used for workplace drug testing.
After examining evidence and analyzing the data, students serve as expert witnesses presenting their case in front of a judge in a trial setting. Friends and family are invited!
“I would really recommend the program. Especially because you are getting real world experiences and I think that for anyone who is really committed and passionate about science it’s such an amazing opportunity.” – FMI Student Testimonial
