I'm thrilled to share some exciting news—our article, “An Undergraduate Experiment for Identifying Cotinine in Simulated Urine Using ELISA Screening and GC-MS Confirmation,” has been published in the Journal of Forensic Science Education.
This project brings real-world forensic science into the undergraduate lab, giving students hands-on experience with ELISA screening and GC-MS confirmation—techniques used in actual toxicology and forensic investigations. Seeing this work come to life in print is incredibly rewarding and reflects the power of connecting classroom learning to authentic scientific practice.
A huge thank you to the students, collaborators, and reviewers who helped make this possible. Your contributions and enthusiasm made all the difference.
We’re excited to see how this work supports innovative teaching and inspires the next generation of scientists.

There should be a teacher on every school board…
and at every table where education decisions are made.
Because right now, we’re making policies for classrooms
without the people who actually live in them.
You wouldn’t design a hospital system without doctors.
You wouldn’t build a plane without pilots.
But in education…
we leave teachers out of the room
