Research in hand identification at @LancasterUni & @dundeeuni | Forensics, anatomy, AI and mathematics

[H-Unique @HUniqueProject]

Often, in evidence of child abuse, the only visible clue for identifying the abuser is an image of their hand. @HUniqueProject is examining the uniqueness of the hand and we need your help to do it. Will you #lendahand and #GetInvolved?

So apparently I’m the first official woman orator @uniofleicester graduations!
I’m lucky enough to give the oration for the rather incredible Lord Simon Woolley, whose achievements include setting up Operation Black Vote.

Loving the first poster session at @CVPR on an EPIC SCALE

[Bryan M. Williams @BryW85]

It's so long since my last in person conference, I forgot how much I enjoy poster sessions.

[H-Unique @HUniqueProject]

@LMcUnderwood @wagamama_uk @SCC_Lancaster @IDC_ACM Have a great time. We've hit Vancouver for @CVPR

[iCVL @iCVLancs]

It's so quiet and peaceful at @SCC_Lancaster on the @LancasterUni campus today. Happy Easter everyone.

Our Dr Bryan Williams was interviewed by BBC Radio Lancashire this morning about the important hand identification research he is leading here at Lancaster and how members of the public can help. Listen again after 1hr 53mins @HUniqueProject @BryW85 https://t.co/xVY2YTtdtW

[Lancaster University @LancasterUni]

Our scientists are developing forensic tools to help identify and convict abusers. And they need businesses and community groups to help. Learn more about @HUniqueProject and how to get involved

[H-Unique @HUniqueProject]

With the images contributed, we have developed world-leading research in feature identification and extraction. Please get involved at https://t.co/kyjJy8Mq8c as we move into the next stage of understanding anatomical variation in the hand.

Protecting children is at the heart of everything we do. Our analysts help child victims of sexual abuse by hunting down and removing any online record of the abuse. Could you help us too? Learn more about the crucial work we do: https://t.co/jeZhjUcKLU.

Snow day at InfoLab ❄️

[Lancaster University @LancasterUni]

Right, let's see your snow day photos ❄️ We'll go first 👇

ICYMI, here are some highlights from the Q&A with Sue Black!

This page has few images and folks using screen readers might prefer it to the Twitter thread. https://t.co/lSe55KPHi6

[Gabriela Czanner @CzannerG]

Excellent example of how to mislead people.

[H-Unique @HUniqueProject]

@dsilancaster @LancsUniMaths @STORiCDT @LancasterCHICAS Would love to join, but we'll heading off to the @HUniqueProject board meeting. Have a great time!

[Royal Institution (now on Bluesky) @Ri_Science]

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened 🥲 It's a wrap on the 2022 #XmasLectures!

Please join us in saying a massive "well done" to our Christmas Lecturer, Sue Black 👏 How great was she?!

[Royal Institution (now on Bluesky) @Ri_Science]

Did you know? The pattern of veins in our hands differs so much from person to person, some of those veins don't even have a name.

Huge thanks to Ricki Boswell-Challand from @LancasterUni for giving us

*checks notes*

a hand 🙄 #XmasLectures

[H-Unique @HUniqueProject]

I'm sure I recognise number 2 from somewhere... 🤣

[STEMillie 🌈⚗️🧬🔬🔥🛠️🏎️🌈 @STEMillie_]

That number 5 looks sus. 🤣 #XmasLectures

[Royal Institution (now on Bluesky) @Ri_Science]

Getting the most reliable memories from eyewitnesses doesn't look like what we often see on crime shows.

Huge thanks to Charlie Frowd from @UCLan for showing us this leading-edge technique to produce images of suspects! #XmasLectures

[H-Unique @HUniqueProject]

Excited for the final instalment of the @Ri_Science #XmasLectures starting on #BBC4 in 3.. 2.. 1..

[H-Unique @HUniqueProject]

As academics, most of us never see the inside of a courtroom. So don't forget to tune into the @Ri_Science #XmasLectures on #BBC4 tonight at 8pm to see some cool science and watch us sweat.
