Boston Leadership Institute: Forensic Science Summer Program

'The program was a varied look into the outlets of forensic science and each day it was a new type of forensics, from thumb printing, and blood to glass and autopsies. Covered a lot of ground in three weeks. The teacher really made the course what it is with a very hands-on ‘learn by doing’ approach. He also had enough experience with the subject matter to make it an entertaining course to be in each day.'

'Forensic Pathology was a fun program. We did many hands-on projects that taught me about forensic science without making it feel like school. I especially liked learning about fingerprints, blood and hair/fiber samples and how they can be used in a case. I also really liked the shattered glass puzzles. Dr. Fox was a great teacher that made these three week really engaging and fun.'
