Uploaded below is the ppt I used. If you have any questions, as said in class, please use my twitter page: NHProfDodd, this way we can collaborate and help each other.

![]() "In 1895 Dr. Eduard Piotrowski published a scientific paper entitledConcerning origin, shape, direction, and distribution of the bloodstains following head wounds caused by blows. Dr. Piotrowski wanted to understand how bloodstains were formed, their appearance from various attacks, and bloodstains found on an offender among other questions. To test his theories Dr. Piotrowski constructed large paper walls to capture the bloodstains created by killing live rabbits. His study is filled with numerous color plates showing the results of his experiments. He had an artist friend draw the aftermath of each attack. This wasn’t a random or disorganized effort. Dr. Piotrowski varied the weapons (he used rocks, hammers, hatchets), position of the attacker, and direction of the blows." ~unknown author

Hello everyone, I added a new tab at the top of my Webpage called "Forensics Websites". If you find a useful website and would like to share it with the class, please post a link there. You are also welcome to email me and I will post it, or you may want to tweet me @ NHProfDodd. I am hoping that everyone will contribute, as I would like to build a bigger and better Forensics website. My goal for the year and future classes is that I would like everyone to succeed and have fun doing so.

Spend a couple of minutes and think about your awareness experiment. It will be due October 1st. Mr. Beatty and I will work out the grading policy in the next few days. As I had mentioned this experiment is meant to be fun, try a few times and hopefully you'll trick someone.
