Chemistry students present at American Academy of Forensic Sciences Conference

June 23, 2022

In February, four SU students attended the 74th Annual American Academy of Forensic Sciences Conference held in Seattle WA, joining thousands of other scientists at this international event. 

 

The peer reviewed submission of four different projects were accepted and presented by the following students, all of whom had taken significant coursework in Forensic Science at Seattle University: 

 

Susannah Sherwood, Chemistry ‘22

Rylee Bosse, Chemistry ‘22

Braeden Camarota, Chemistry 22

Lauren Bouju-Davies, Criminal Justice-Forensic Science ‘22

 

The titles and co-authors of their presentations are:
