Dr. Candice Bridge in Black Enterprise for Second Research Grant

Chemist and University of Central Florida professor Candice Bridge just received a $354,000 grant to fund her forensics research which explores the use of lubricant evidence in sexual assault cases.

This is the second grant Bridge has received; the first was in 2016. With the funds, she is creating a publicly accessible database for forensics teams to analyze evidence from sexual crime scenes involving lubricants (such as ones used in condoms).
