~A Proud Mother Moment~

I wanted to share this moment with my friends in blogland.....

AAFS 2011 63rd Annual Meeting (American Academy of Forensic Scientists)


"The Academy's annual scientific meeting is held in February at which time over 800 scientific papers, breakfast seminars, workshops, and other special events are presented. The AAFS consists of eleven sections representing a wide range of forensic specialties, and the annual scientific meeting gathers these professionals who present the most current information, research, and updates in this expanding field."

My daughter Courtney's research on Synthetic Cannibis otherwise known as "Spice" or "K2" was accepted by the Academy and she will be speaking on Friday at the Hyatt in front of 100's! Some of the world's renowned Forensic Scientist's such as Dr. Michael Baden and Dr. Henry Lee will also be in attendance and will be speaking as well.  All her hard work and dedication has paid off - fresh out of graduate school and to have this on your resume'.  I will be attending on Friday to witness my daughter in a business suit and all professional as other take in her valuable research and look on with respect.

This is certainly a Proud Mother Moment - someone pass me the Kleenex!   :)

  10. Thank you all for your well wishes for Courtney - I will certainly pass them on! I will try to take as many pictures as possible, but I have already been warned that it is not allowed while she is speaking because of
    plagiarism. Don't they recognize a proud Momma when they see one? :)
