Educating the Chemist for the New Century in Forensic Science
The interest in Forensic Science continues to rise and educators must be ready to address the needs of the field as well as the student interest. The underlying concepts rely on Chemistry, and education is the key to preparing chemists for the challenging field of forensic science. Whether a student becomes a scene investigator or a crime laboratory chemist, understanding the chemistry of the analyses is of the utmost importance. Papers presented in this session will cover a variety of educational topics that face the student as well as the educator today.
