Murder, Mystery & Microscopes
The James Hutton Institute is running a series of events delving into the science behind fictional crime with 'Murder, Mystery & Microscopes'.
Crime fiction comes face to face with science fact as the fictional forensics of a crime writer such as Stuart MacBride, Ann Cleeves, Val McDermid, Margaret Murphy, Peter James and Mark Billingham are put under the microscope by a group of real-life CSIs.
Separating crime fiction from crime fact are:
Forensics expert Professor Dave Barclay from The Robert Gordon University.
Dr Lorna Dawson, Head of Soil Forensic Science here at The James Hutton Institute.
Dr James Grieve, Senior lecturer at the Department of Pathology at the University of Aberdeen, and a Police Forensic Pathologist.
Professor Sue Black, forensic anthropologist and head of Anatomy and Forensic Anthropology at the University of Dundee.
