Trent University’s renowned Forensic Science program and new crime scene house have caught the attention of Discovery Channel’s critically-acclaimed science show, Daily Planet.

The internationally-acclaimed television program was on Trent campus April 1 and 2 taping five installments of their popular “Science and the City” segment featuring experiments developed collaboratively with faculty and students from Trent’s Forensic Science program. Each experiment is designed to explain the scientific principles behind various procedures and processes used in forensics in a fun and interactive way. Daily Planet will also be taping a segment for their Green Week special showing Trent students how to make power-free iPod speakers.

The iPod segment will be broadcast on April 23, and the forensic science experiments segments filmed at Trent are expected to air sometime in May. Daily Planet is Discovery Channel Canada's flagship daily science magazine show about the science of everyday life.
