Dr Clark yesterday presented a two-hour-long afternoon ``snack session'' on crime scene investigation, which was attended by more than 15 senior secondary school pupils from throughout the country. The popularity of several CSI television programmes and related shows had also contributed to the popularity of the crime scene investigation ``snack'' session, and the summer school forensic biology paper, she said. Sarah Lee (17), a Wellington pupil, said the ``Hands-on'' programme was ``really interesting'' and she enjoyed the crime scene snack. Olivia Fox (16) was ``loving'' the ``awesome'' Otago programme, and praised the snack.
