On October 24, 2010, LAVA Visionary Professor Donald Johnson welcomed an audience of curious laypeople into the Cal State L.A. Criminalistics teaching labs for an afternoon exploring the Science and Art of Forensic Investigations. If you weren’t able to attend, maybe you can deduce something about how much fun was had by the photographic evidence. We suggest you get on the LAVA mailing list for a chance to attend future crime lab events and other exclusive LAVA happenings.
