The advice from Mr. Neil Coupar to forensic science students is to “be inquisitive” and “enjoy the journey.” #SSFRS2019

We had a wonderful opening session where we learned from Andrew Brandon about drug metabolism in a poly-substance use context, Lilli Dan about analysis of biometric identifiers in retinal fundus images, and Fabio Casali about validation of presumptive blood tests

Prof Lorna Dawson talks about the importance of sharing forensic science research with writers of crime fiction. Only a few people will read academic literature, but millions of people around the world read and watch crime fiction, so let’s make sure it is accurate. #SSFRS2019

Professor Lorna Dawson, Keynote Speaker at #SSFRS2019 talking about the origins of soil science back to the Romans and the current uses of forensic geoscience evidence. @Soilfit
