The work of Paulette Arguelles, a 2012 Forensic Science Graduate from UNL, has been published in The Anatomical Record and is now highlighted on the Real Clear Science website. The study, “Forensic Palynological Analysis of Intestinal Contents of a Korean Mummy” (Arguelles, Reinhard & Shin, 2015) was a project for the forensic science palynology course (pollen analysis), FORS 446 and focused on examining pollen spores in fossilized feces to determine what an individual ate before they expired.

It is exciting that research that begins in the undergraduate classroom continues to impact the larger field of forensic science and our undergraduate students are the foundation for creating new knowledge.
