FIX

These last couple of weeks, leading into midterm exams, the forensics club known as Forensics Investigation Xperiment (FIX) has been training for their first crime scene. They began by learning how to compare broken glass samples by measuring their density and then how to analyze hair samples. Their next training session will deal with how to extract DNA from hair, amplify it, and then construct a DNA fingerprint. Soon they will have their first crime scene to investigate; the question is will they be able to solve it?
