摘要: Deep in the primordial forest of eastern Texas, we watch our team undergraduate and graduate students taking swab samples from a pair human cadavers that placed at Southeast Texas Applied Forensics Science (STAFS) facility Sam Houston State University (SHSU) Huntsville. Our highly choreographed sampling regime, which focuses on bacterial communities, includes swabbing seven body sites each cadaver, collecting nearby soil samples, tabulating temperatures, cadaver-associated flies. We do this daily until bodies begin to dry out, then sample every other day for another month, once weekly yet per month 6 months only bones remain. continue approximately one year longer.
