Standing Out among the Masses In the wake of natural catastrophes like earthquakes and tsunamis, one of the unhappy tasks first responders face is finding, identifying, and properly handling large numbers of the dead. Given that grim reality, it’s no wonder MTSU student Jeannie Stubblefield’s research on alternatives for managing human and animal remains resulting from mass fatalities has piqued the interest of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Stubblefield won first place for her poster research at the Fifth Annual DHS University Network Summit in Washington, D.C. Her research, funded by DHS and managed through Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Southeast Region Research Initiative, even landed her a request for a private meeting with DHS officials.
