Join us at this free public talk about how molecular analysis can help to solve forensic cases. This includes identifying key information, like the time of death.

It's surprisingly difficult to determine how long a body has been dead. It could just be a skeleton, and even if it is a full body different temperatures can affect how quickly skin and muscle break down.

Discover how things as small as DNA, proteins, and microbes can be a big help in solving real-world crimes.

This event is perfect for crime enthusiasts, science lovers, and anyone curious about how science helps to bring justice.
