Clues in the Code

Hello, fellow educators! I’m Dr. Charla Marshall, a forensic DNA scientist and lifelong advocate for hands-on STEM learning. I specialize in ancient and degraded DNA analysis (think centuries-old mysteries, cold-case burials, and historical “vampire” legends). My teaching passion is translating complex DNA methods into creative, age-appropriate activities (Victorian vampire mysteries, micro-lab simulations, and escape-room puzzles!). Every resource in my store is student-tested, educator-approved, and packed with real-world examples from my forensic casework. My goal is simple: help your students see science as a detective adventure they can join right now. Thanks for visiting **Clues in the Code**—and for inspiring the next generation of forensic DNA problem-solvers! Feel free to reach out with questions, collaboration ideas, or just to talk DNA.
