The three of us worked together in IUPUI's ENG-W 230, Writing in the Sciences, Fall 2023. In the early phases of our project, we completed research, compiled a review of literature, then built grids to share connections between key topics and sources. Each of us had an area of specialization. visit the Review of Literature and Grid pages to see these foundational steps. Then, we traded research. Each of us shifted from a more formal tone to compose short articles on these science topics using words and approaches that are more appealing to the general public than academic-science writing.
Finger prints are much more reliable than bitemarks.
Faith Bittner is a second-year forensic science student at IUPUI. Her passion to learn more about forensics has led her to conduct research on forensic evidence including blood spatter and bitemark evidence. She hopes to inform those who show an interest in true crime with this co-authorship regarding the validity of bite mark evidence.

Madison Mikulec is currently a student at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) that studies forensic science. She hopes to inform the public of the importance that forensic science has in the scientific field. Her work hopes to provide a simplified, but accurate, information of blood spatter to true crime lovers.

Elayna Paro is a Forensic and Investigative Science major with a concentration in Biology. With prior knowledge of forensic evidence, this led to the development of this publication about different types of forensic evidence and their inadmissibility. Oftentimes, people are under the impression of the CSI effect, meaning they believe in the process shown on popular shows, such as NCIS and Law and Order. Through the means of this publication, the authors hopes to educate true-crime lovers about the truth behind forensic science and the means of its admissibility.

Early polygraphs worked similarly to a heart exam.
