Event Details
Wednesday, April 3rd 5pm The Truth About Trace Evidence The Spring Installment of our Biannual Forensic Science Lecture Series presented by Gina Londino-Smolar, IUPUI Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Forensic and Investigative Sciences Program Have you ever wondered how hairs or fibers are used in forensic casework or what information can be determined by a single hair? Can it be matched to an individual? How about fibers? Can a fiber be identified just by using a microscope? Can it be matched to a particular sweater? During this presentation, we will examine common trace evidence, learn what trace evidence can tell us, and hear about familiar cases in which trace evidence played an important role in the investigation. We will look at microscopic characteristics of trace materials and discover what we can determine --and what we cannotsay about the evidence and how that compares with dramatizations in television and movies. *Please note: The Old Pathology Building that houses the Indiana Medical History Museum is a historic building and, as such, may present certain risks and/or physical restrictions. Some floor seating is available for visitors with limited physical mobility, but these must be requested in advance by emailing Sarah at [email protected].
