New opportunity to support Forensic Science Research is in the Collaboration Hub. This project aims to create a public web portal to allow digital evidence investigators to query the database and obtain a list of evidential artifacts for mobile apps. ow.ly/aJqb50JhGyx
Talking about the future of human identification for #forensic applications at #WorldPoliceSummit with @Bram_Bekaert and @Walther_Parson - using innovations such as DNA phenotyping, epigenetic age prediction, and mRNA based body fluid and cell type analysis
I submitted my PhD thesis today! And somehow, the rabbit is the one looking smug 😂🐰I’m delighted, relieved but above all, grateful to everyone who’s supported me for the last five years #AcademicTwitter@KingsForensics@VerogenBio @Royalcom1851 #phdlife
Awesome work show cased here by @BakengSeAfrika! @KatBrown086 and I wrote about the use of 3D printing for reconstruction of burned/fragmented remains in our 2020 paper which you can read here if you're interested. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Always up for collaborations too 🤩
