Excited to share my first publication in #mdpiinsects!
The study was also featured on @ConversationEDU as Secrets wrapped in fabric: how our study of 100 decomposing piglet bodies will help solve criminal cases.

The ultimate goal is to determine current levels of background glass in Australian’s clothing – knowledge invaluable to trace evidence... 2/3

In 2022, #ChemCentre, #AFP, #Curtin ran a pilot program in high schools to contribute #CitSci to #Forensics – by testing how best to collect shakings from clothing... 1/3

In just over 2 weeks, I'll be presenting "Condom evidence in sexual assaults" in the Clinical Forensic Medicine stream of #PathUpdate2023. With thanks to @PathologyRCPA, I'm looking forward to talking with a different audience #Forensic #Chemistry #Pathology
Such a pretty gold print!

I really enjoyed talking with Christine and hope everyone learns one cool thing about #glass as part of #NationalScienceWeek
Tune into @abcperth from 2pm today as our focus on glass continues! ChemCentre's Dr Kari Pitts @forensicchemrox will be chatting with @steenslaytonatr about #forensic glass investigations, #citizenscience and national #scienceweek @Aus_ScienceWeek

Research can be hard, but there are ways to make it simpler.
Here are some tips for working in the lab
🧵⬇️
I had a great chat with Michele about forensics, my job @ChemCentre and all things STEAM. Thanks for having me!
In this episode, I speak with Dr Kari Pitts about Kari's journey to #ForensicChemistry, physical evidence, and how it's not quite like #CSI.

The things you end up agreeing to after long hours in the lab... it was @PimmVongs idea 😉
Dancing is an entirely appropriate way to pass time while our experiments are running! @ausynchrotron Featuring @PimmVongs @forensicchemrox @AaronJHorrocks and the new #Pride rainbow staircase 🌈 #dancingscientist #CurtinForensic
My new research associate/ roommate at the #AustralianSynchrotron. Pretty quiet but absolutely useless at using the microscope on the beamline 🥽🥼💄

Great pic and awesome to see @burnier_celine recognised for her important work. DNA isn't always present, for many reasons, so having a SOP that also collects #lubricants is important in #SexualAssault cases. I use Celine's research routinely in my casework.
