My husband’s uncle, Robert C.Shaler, Ph.D., Sc.D. (hon) (uncle Bobby as we call him), has his own TV show! It is part of the Discovery Channel network called ID Investigation Discovery and the show is called Crime Scene University.
Robert was the director of forensic biology in New York City’s Office of Chief Medical Examiner and in 2005 he left and headed to Penn State’s new forensics major program. In the wake of the WTC attacks on September 11, 2001, he assumed the responsibility for identifying the 2749 people who perished. He designed, organized, and implemented the DNA testing strategy that became the cornerstone for the majority of the 1592 identified victims. He is a truly amazing person and he welcomed me with open arms the minute I met him!
