Student Research, 2008-2009
Research cumulating in a master’s thesis is the central part of the Master of Science in Forensic Science program at Cedar Crest College. One of the major advantages the research requirement offers students is the opportunity to present original research at regional, national, and international forensic science professional conferences and to publish in peer-reviewed journals. In 2008 and 2009, several students have presented at regional, national and international forensic science conferences. Cedar Crest College is always well represented at these conferences and presents as many papers as any academic program in the country.
Additionally, program graduate Megan Zellner won the Collegiate Competition at the 2007 annual meeting of the Northeastern Association of Forensic Sciences (NEAFS). Each year, NEAFS gives an award to the student giving the best research presentation at the conference. Megan, who graduated from the program in 2008, presented on the differentiation of glitter lip-glosses using pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy.
Below is the complete list of student research presentations given at professional forensic science conferences in 2008-2009:
Lindsay Carbone, Evaluating the Presence and Dangers Associated With Heavy Metals in Commonly Encountered Consumer Products, Sixty-First Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, Denver, 2009.

Publication
One current program student, Nicole Deitz, published an article on her research in The Microscope in 2007. The article titled “Microscopic Methods of Differentiation of Thirty-Six Blue Gel Inks,” can be found in Volume 55, Number 2 of the journal.
Megan Zellner, who graduated in 2008, also had a manuscript accepted for publication in the Journal of Forensic Science. Her manuscript titled “Differentiation of Twenty-One Glitter Lip Glosses by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry” will appear in the July 2009 printing of this journal.
