Like most people, [the contest winner] had always assumed fingerprint identification was firmly grounded in science, and she wanted to find out more. S[he] was taking Criminal Procedure ... at the time, and [her professor] proposed that she approach the topic as an independent study subject, and offered to be her advisor.
