TechFest: Forensic Pathology, Biology and Geology
Do you ever wonder if - with the advances in modern forensic methods - the outcome of murder cases from days gone by would be any different? If investigated today would the conclusions be the same? Would the accused still be found guilty? Would modern techniques indicate a miscarriage of justice?
In this fascinating TechFest presentation, recently retired pathologist Dr James Grieve, forensic soil scientist Professor Lorna Dawson and SPA forensic biologist Chris Gannicliffe look at cases with a local interest and discuss how modern technology has changed the face of forensic science.
Presented by Dr James Grieve, Emeritus Professor in Forensic Medicine, University of Aberdeen; Professor Lorna Dawson, Head of Forensic Soil Science, James Hutton Institute; and Chris Gannicliffe, Lead Scientist, Forensic Services, Scottish Police Authority.
