I am very happy to be presenting today at the 4th International Caparica Conference in Translational Forensics, presenting my research on Maceration and ALS anlysis of bone. My first solo international conference!

@Bonegella @UCLan Thank you so much 🖤 I finally got there!
Couldn't have done it without you, Anna 😊

[Prof Anna Williams @Bonegella]

Wow! What a conference #Microbio24.
I feel honoured to have presented my PhD research of the soil necrobiome at this prestigious symposium. Thank you for all the interest and curiosity into this emerging field of #forensicecogenomics ! See you again next year 🤞🏼

Our room of forensic investigators worked hard today and solved the Case of the Body in the Cellar. They successfully identified the remains and used the evidence to find the culprit #thebodyinthecellar #forensicanthropology @UCLanSFIS @Bonegella @Hy_bk

[Prof Anna Williams @Bonegella]

The Case of the Body in the Cellar: Forensic Anthropology Workshop today went really well, thanks to the expert help of @CaleyMein, @Hy_bk, @sarina3r and Gabi Mroz. All delegates loved it! We will definitely be repeating it soon..keep an eye out for updates!
