However, to the disappointment of crime show lovers everywhere, things don\u2019t quite happen like they do on the small screen. Just ask Cory Winar, \u201997, forensic lab manager for the Oregon State Police.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wear a lot more clothes, we work with the lights on, we don\u2019t have people working in the lab 24 hours a day \u2014 and we stop to go to the bathroom,\u201d Winar explains. \u201cAlso, there isn\u2019t one person who stays in the basement with an 80-ounce Slurpee who knows how to do everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But, there is some reality in the fictional plotlines. Forensic scientists can help to solve crimes by analyzing even the smallest pieces of evidence. And, those scenes that show a ballistic expert firing a gun into an object to see how the bullet expands actually happens in real life, too.<\/p>\n<p>For the most part, though, Winar says the cases aren\u2019t all that exciting. As\u00a0a manager who has to supervise others, he often finds himself caught up in paperwork and politics. However, he does occasionally get to respond to crime scenes and perform tests in the lab, which are the parts he really enjoys.<\/p>\n<p>It was a conversation with his mom that first piqued his interest in forensic science. During his third year at a college in Northern Virginia, Winar decided he wanted a change. Since he had a friend who was going to UCF at the time, he checked out the school and discovered its forensic science program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI looked at the curriculum, and I was thinking to myself, &#8216;I don\u2019t know if I\u2019m going to be able to do this,&#8217;\u201d he says. \u201cIt was all this chemistry \u2014 physical chemistry, organic chemistry I and II, and calculus. But, I had some good instructors who got me interested in the material, and I was able to do well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>About six months after graduating, Winar was offered a job in Norfolk, Va. Two years later, he had an opportunity to work in Richmond, Va., where he stayed for nearly three years before a position opened up in Eugene, Ore., and he decided to move west.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first time I saw Eugene was in a moving truck,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>He worked his way up from a forensic scientist, performing drug analysis, processing trace evidence and working crime scenes, to managing the city\u2019s lab, where he\u2019s been for more than 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>Eugene\u2019s forensic lab is one of five in the state and covers nine counties, for which Winar and his team processed more than 5,500 cases last year.<\/p>\n<p>The most challenging case he\u2019s had to process involved a hit-and-run accident, where he had to try to match paint found on the victim to the suspect\u2019s car. Although the arresting officers were sure they had the right guy, the evidence showed otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>While Winar\u2019s cases are always mentally challenging, some are also emotionally difficult to process \u2014 like one crime scene in which a young mother had been stabbed and her 5 \u00bd-month-old baby had also been stabbed and had its throat slit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving to try to focus on the scene and having two kids, it\u2019s even more difficult to see that,\u201d he says. \u201cThat was probably the hardest one I\u2019ll ever have to do, because I still remember faces with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He does his best to keep his work life separate from his home life with his wife and two kids. Since moving to Oregon, he\u2019s taken up running, which he says is a good release because it gives him a chance to process things in his mind. He enjoys running so much that he\u2019s even run several marathons and ultramarathons [a longer distance than a traditional marathon\u2019s 26.2 miles].<\/p>\n<p>Although he lives more than 3,000 miles from his alma mater, Winar hasn\u2019t forgotten the school that helped him get where he is today. He says\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/forensic-science-bs\/\">UCF&#8217;s forensic science program<\/a> really prepared him for the field, and that most\u00a0of the people who call him for career advice\u00a0are going to schools that have a forensic science program in criminal justice, which, he says, won\u2019t teach them what a forensic scientist actually does.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUCF and the program Dr. [William] McGee put together really prepares you to go into a forensic lab, because it has classes in the disciplines in which you can work, as opposed to a theory-based criminalistics class where you just sit and talk about theories,\u201d he explains. \u201cYou actually get your hands in there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He advises current forensic science students to appreciate the amount of information and knowledge they\u2019re going to get at UCF, because he says the other programs out there are not as good. Confidence is also very important, he adds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this field, we\u2019re looking for someone who has a knowledge base, but also good personal skills, because you\u2019re going to have to communicate on the stand, in front of a jury, as well as with other scientists. Work on those interpersonal skills and how you want to present yourself, and don\u2019t be afraid to be yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>UNDER THE MICROSCOPE Q&amp;A<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Favorite UCF memory?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Graduating \u2014 the feeling of remembering back to that first semester, going there with the pessimism of &#8220;we\u2019ll see what happens,&#8221; and graduating. Along the way, the biggest challenge that came was my second semester on spring break, when my dad died. Finishing up that semester and getting back on track was difficult. Getting through it at that point and finishing was a big thing. I remember standing outside of the old arena and thinking, &#8220;Wow, I\u2019m done! I did it!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Favorite UCF professor?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Dr. Barry Fookes [who taught microscopy and trace evidence classes]. I thought he was a wealth of knowledge, and he shared it in a way that I was able to understand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Were you involved in any extracurricular activities at UCF?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. I coached co-ed soccer, and refereed for co-ed volleyball and soccer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Favorite TV show based on forensic science?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. \u201cDexter\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Favorite piece of lab equipment to work with?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. I\u2019m kind of old school. I like the good old microscope. It\u2019s amazing how much information you can get from one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Have you made any mistakes on the job that you can now look back at and laugh?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. I went to a crime scene where the room smelled like decomposition because the deceased had been there for over a week. I got home about 3 or 4 a.m. and was so tired that I just changed my clothes and crashed on the bed. I woke up to an upset wife because I still stunk like a dead body. I did not make that mistake again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. What\u2019s the grossest thing you\u2019ve ever had to process in the lab?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Bloody clothing with maggots and other bugs still moving around. I felt like bugs were on me for the next few days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Any hidden talents?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. I\u2019m a pretty good cook.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Best thing about living in Eugene, Ore.?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. The slower pace of life and being able to spend time with my family instead of commuting to and from work. Everything is outdoorsy, even in the rainy and gray winter. There are several great wineries and microbreweries here in the Eugene area, not to mention across the rest of the state.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Tell us about your family.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. I\u2019ve been married for four years to Tina Tague, who is an editor for scientific papers and journals. I met her when she was in graduate school and I was one of the instructors (dating started after she was in my class, of course). We have two rockin&#8217; kids, a 2-year-old son, Brooks, and an 8-month-old daughter, Cullen. My mom is a realtor, and my father passed away during my second semester at UCF. I have a brother, Curtis, and a sister, Dina. I\u2019m the only UCF alumnus in the Winar clan. We have two dogs, Sasha and Daisy, and two cats, Casper and Maggie.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. A giant meteor is hurling through the atmosphere toward Earth, and life as we know it will cease to exist by this time tomorrow. How will you spend your last 24 hours?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Building my spaceship to get my family and friends to space for a galactic party<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. If someone made a movie about you, what would the title be?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. \u201cWhy Not?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Best piece of advice you\u2019ve ever received?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Don\u2019t underestimate yourself. You can do anything you want.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Brewmaster<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. What profession would you not like to do?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Middle school teacher<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forensic science alumnus&#8217; work helps Oregon police catch the bad
