Week 2 - Day Six

Yesterday was interesting in the fact that we had a toxicology lecture in the afternoon. During the morning, we were working on our bone cases - trying to make sure that we had all the information needed to be able to put the report together. At the start of lunch, we had finished up our first bone case, and knew what we had to go back and re-do/measure/analyze.
After that we had the presentation. Some of the information I already knew about, as I am in the SMU Forensic Science's Program, but it was interesting to see what differences there were between the two countries. The first, and most obvious one, is the size of the place. The tox lab in Halifax is nice, but they don't have over 2 million in equipment that they have here.
Personally, I was interested in pursuing toxicology, but Chemistry doesn't like me all that much, and the feeling is somewhat mutual. Seeing what they do, however, is fascinating. The case studies he presented to us where intriguing, just seeing what could be considered a poison was kind of scary.
This week is mostly free time, so I expect I'll be in the bone room working on the cases and presentations for most of it, but I'd like to stop by the photography lab as well as the tox lab for a bit as well. I can't believe we're almost done here - I don't want to leave!
