Most parents would take exception with a summer camp where their children were looking at methamphetamine and cocaine, maybe even if they were fake. Not so, however, for parents of Camp CSI: Birmingham attendees. Last week, campers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, all of them high school […]
This is definitely for the curious CSI lover. It is also not for the faint of heart. It’s not the most graphic autopsy video I’ve seen, but, for its brevity, it is interesting and informative for those who want to know more about what the medical examiners of CSI would do, if it weren’t just […]
This week, we saw a significant event in the investigation of the 1996 JonBenet Ramsey murder case. Investigators were able to use Touch DNA to exclude the Ramsey family from the suspect list. When I saw this reported, my first question was, “What the heck is touch DNA?” Apparently, I wasn’t the only person wondering. […]

At the request of CBS, manufacturer Planet Toys removed from store shelves two toys on the list, the CSI: Fingerprint Examination Kit and the CSI: Crime […]
On the season finale of CSI: NY, Hostage, we see the Kriss Super V. Check out this video, showing the real thing, designed for the military, allowing them to use larger rounds, in an automatic weapon, but with more accuracy in each shot. This is amazing, but scary to think that anyone might gain access […]
Are you looking for love, and have tried everything else? There may be a way that you can scientifically find your perfect mate. At least, that’s what a service called ScientificMatch.com says. They use each person’s DNA to find the perfect partner for them. Don’t ask me if it works, I’m just reporting to you […]
Now there’s a whole new thing to do with DNA. Sure, it can solve crimes, determine paternity, help diagnose illness and a whole range of totally cool things, but did you also know that you can now use as a work of art? Art that’s completely your own?
But perhaps I should have put a little […]
I just ran across this article on Yahoo.com that talks about several jobs that are in demand and pay well, but don’t require a ton of expensive education to get your toe in the door. One of them was that of Forensic Science Technician. I’m assuming that this refers to the “lab rats” on the […]
