BLOOD, HAIR, FIBERS—SOUNDS LIKE A FUN SUMMER AT “CSI: MTSU”
Dr. Hugh Berryman Separates Truth from Television on “MTSU on the Record”

(MURFREESBORO) - One of the most unique summer camps anywhere, “CSI: MTSU,” gives high school students a chance to explore the fascinating world of forensic science. Dr. Hugh Berryman, forensic anthropologist and founder of the Forensic Institute for Research and Education, will talk about this summer’s event at 7 a.m. this Sunday, June 7, on “MTSU on the Record” with host Gina Logue on WMOT-FM (89.5 and wmot.org).
From June 16-19, campers will be divided into teams, each with a qualified professional, and inspect “crime scenes,” using math and science to solve the crimes. They’ll learn about DNA, fingerprints, hair and fiber evidence, simulated blood spatter, shoe prints and methods for processing the evidence.
For more information, contact Logue at 615-898-5081 or gklogue@mtsu.edu or WMOT-FM at 615-898-2800. To listen to last week’s program on “Citizenship and Community in a Globalized World,” go to http://frank.mtsu.edu/~proffice/podcast2009.html and click on “May 31, 2009.”
