Goodbye to a pioneer, scientist, professor, and esteemed forensic toxicologist. Kurt M. Dubowski, Ph.D. November 21, 1921 - October 23, 2017
Looking forward to everything the 2017 Annual Southwestern Association of Forensic Scientists (SWAFS) Conference will be providing this week!
My thoughts and well-wishes go to everyone affected by Hurricane/Tropical Storm Harvey. Houston and America, you have been incredibly compassionate and supportive. Such a sight to see. I'm glad to have been able to help friends in need, and I look forward joining you in helping others.
In this time of gratitude, I would like to thank my friends and family and everyone I have worked with as Cheney Forensic Consulting celebrates its first year of business.
We are, #HOUSTONSTRONG
Hoping everyone is safe and sound throughout Harvey!
Looking forward to all the presentations at the @TCDLA 15th Annual Top Gun DWI in Houston!
Thank you Brian Burns for the opportunity to speak last week at MCCDLA's monthly lunch seminar about my Discovery Order review process. It was a pleasure meeting everyone. Also, the food was delicious. I look forward to working with many of you MCCDLA members. @CheneyForensics
I am attending the 30'th anniversary IACT conference in Colorado Springs, CO. This year, Dr. Alan Wayne Jones will be honored with the 2017 Kurt M. Dubowski award. Looking forward to honoring Dr. A.W. Jones, as well as all the discussions and presentations.
April 20-21, 2017, marked the first Blood Ethanol Analysis using Headspace Gas Chromatography Introductory Course, a sponsored collaboration with the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association (HCCLA) and Tyler Flood and Andrea Podlesney of Texas Forensic Analytics. A total of 15 HCCLA attorneys attended the course, which provided them with the following: 1) evidence submission, accessioning, and chain of custody, 2) an introduction into the theory of headspace gas chromatography, fate and effects of ethanol in the human body, and retrograde extrapolation, 3) hands-on experience pipetting and preparing individual headspace vials, 4) creating a sequence, loading headspace vials onto the autosampler, starting a batch sequence, and analyzing the resulting data, and 5) live blood draw and standard field sobriety tests.
HCCLA, Tyler, Andrea, attorneys who attended, and everyone else who helped with the course, a big and sincere thank you for helping make this course possible and a success!
Wishing everyone a healthy, happy, and rewarding 2017! #CheneyForensics
Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas! #cheneyforensics
Glad I was able to catch up with old colleagues and make new ones at the 2016 Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association (HCCLA) Holiday Party. I look forward to working with all of you.
Thank you to the Montgomery County Criminal Defense Lawyer Association (MCCDLA) for having me at their fun 2016 Holiday Party! I enjoyed meeting and speaking with many of you. Hope to work with all of you.
Sponsored by the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association (HCCLA) and in combination with Tyler Flood & Associates and Texas Forensic Analytics, 20 HCCLA members will attend a two-day introductory course on Blood Ethanol Analysis using Headspace Gas Chromatography. Cheney Forensic Consulting is excited to assist in teaching the course and greatly appreciates this sponsored collaborative training opportunity. Also, thank you to the HCCLA members who have registered and made this a full course. I look forward to meeting everyone in February. #CheneyForensics
