Unearthing the sieves for our preparation protocol. Some might be a little older than others 🥴

We’re excited to announce collaboration with the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine @TuftsDental! With their help, adults getting their wisdom teeth extracted can donate them to our research. Chemically analyzing these teeth will aid in forensic identification of POW/MIA.

We're so excited to partner with dental schools and oral surgeries who have agreed to help us collect teeth! Stay tuned for updates as we work to create a database that will be used to aid in forensic identification of the remains of American POW/MIAs.

Very cool to hear our collaborator Dr Lesley A. Chesson talk about the FIRMS network and forensic accredidation. FIRMS was founded to develop the scope of stable isotope techniques in forensic applications, you can check them out at forensic-isotopes.org

The @dodpaa and @HJFMilMed partner symposium was a great place to learn about all the projects focusing on returning our servicememebers to their families. Can't wait for the next one!
