The Teaching and Learning with Technology Research Carnival will be held on June 19, 2019 from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. at The Dreamery, on the ground floor of the Shields Building.
Edward Hipkiss, lecturer in biology, will give the first of three Evening Talks during spring term at Penn State Mont Alto. The talks highlight faculty research and are followed, weather permitting, by star parties with telescope viewing and night-sky tours led by Kimberly Herrmann, associate professor in physics and astronomy.
CSI notwithstanding, forensics experts cannot always retrieve fingerprints from objects, but a conformal coating process developed by Penn State professors can reveal hard-to-develop fingerprints on nonporous surfaces without altering the chemistry of the print. "As prints dry or age, the common techniques used to develop latent fingerprints, such as dusting or cyanoacrylate -- SuperGlue -- fuming often fail," said Robert Shaler, professor of biochemistry and molecular biology and director of Penn State's forensic sciences program.
