Our 2012 Accomplishments
It’s been another fantastic year at the Pine Street Foundation…we’ve published peer-reviewed research, presented papers at conferences, received lots of media coverage in the national press, hosted community events, and made huge strides with all our other ongoing research projects.
Paper Published: Scent Identification in Criminal Investigations and Prosecutions
Scent lineups are a powerful tool in the investigation of crimes. With proper procedures, both forensic and judicial, scent lineups can be valuable evidence for a jury to consider. This is the first every systematic review critically evaluating all the known scientific evidence for the use of canine scent detection in law enforcement

The Pine Street Foundation's work on canine scent detection was featured in the June 2009 of O, The Oprah Magazine.
Lymphoma, Chemotherapy, & Antioxidants
Using antioxidants during chemotherapy is an important and controversial question among health care providers, patients, and their support teams. In previous issues of Avenues, we have researched this subject thoroughly for prostate, breast, lung, colon, and ovarian cancers. In this article, we turn our focus to lymphoma, conducting a systematic search for published research that would support or discourage the use of antioxidants in combination with chemotherapy.
