Lawrence Tech’s Forensic Summer Science Institute
A Science-Intensive Program

Designed for high school sophomores and juniors seriously interested in biology, chemistry, and physics, Lawrence Tech's Forensic Summer Science Institute offers the opportunity to study with outstanding university professors and top students from other schools. If you attended last year, join us for a NEW crime scenario. You'll use state-of-the-art equipment in modern labs and explore some of the following:

• DNA fingerprinting
• Drug testing
• Hair and fiber analysis
• Ballistics and testing for gunshot residue
• Blood detection using fluorescence analysis
• Thin Layer Chromatography to separate and identify drugs and other compounds
• Infrared Analysis and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance to analyze trace evidence gathered from the scene of suspected arson
• Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry to identify substances used in the manufacture of illicit drugs
• High Pressure Liquid Chromatography to identify substances such as plastics, dyes, and natural pigments

Now in its 42nd year, the Summer Science Institute includes forensic biology, forensic physics, and forensic chemistry and is held on weekdays, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m., June 28 - July 2, or July 12 - 16, 2010.

And the best part? The Forensic Summer Science Institute is so affordable. All you pay is $400/commuter or $550/residential (includes meals). Both prices include a nonrefundable registration fee of $200. University lab experience of this caliber can cost thousands of dollars, but special funding makes the Forensic Summer Science Institute available to motivated high school students.

Need-based scholarships in the amount of $190 are available to extremely well-qualified students. Apply soon - quantities are limited!

The registration deadline is May 28, 2010; the scholarship application deadline is April 30, 2010. Reserve your place today!
