Where Science and Law Enforcement Meet
Iowa Central Community College criminal justice students toured the Midwest Forensics Resource Center on Nov. 17. Roger Jones told the students about his research using DART mass spectroscopy to characterize ink samples, and David Baldwin and Dan Zamzow demonstrated how they create and analyze high-speed digital videos of bloodstain pattern formation. Here, Zamzow (left) helps ICCC students try their hand at making high-speed videos of blood (in this case, red-tinted corn syrup) drops falling onto a surface.
