Don’t worry — Dr. Doss' Principles of Biomedical Science students at CTEC are on the case! 🧬🩸
Today, we kicked off our Forensic Science Unit, and we’re determined to crack the case of Anna Garcia! But first, we have to follow the evidence, connect the clues, and uncover the truth behind what happened to Anna.
From conducting polygraph tests and analyzing hair and fingerprints to running toxicology examinations, sequencing DNA, dissecting organs, and SO much more, our student investigators will use real-world biomedical science techniques to piece together the puzzle! 🔍🧪
🕵️♂️ Who’s responsible? What does the evidence reveal? And can our future forensic scientists solve the mystery?
👀 STAY TUNED… the truth is waiting to be uncovered! 🩸🔬

Today, Chief Hensley’s students honored the courage, bravery, and sacrifice of the firefighters and first responders who answered the call on September 11, 2001. 🚒🧑🚒
Students put on firefighter gear 🧯👨🚒 and climbed the stairs 🪜, carrying the weight of the gear as a small tribute to the heroes who gave everything to help others. ❤️
Each step was a tribute.
Each moment was a reminder.
& Every climb was a way to honor those who served and sacrificed.
25 years later, their courage still inspires us, their sacrifice is still remembered, and their stories will never be forgotten.🕊️❤️🤍💙
