This module is available to all #Forensic, #Chemistry, and #Physics students in their first year and those coming up from #FoundationYear, and focusses on looking at science from an interdisplinary lens, and understanding the importance of community engagement.

This year Julie from 'JMS Accelerant Search' ran a demonstration of the burn simulation. She showed our students how a scene search is conducted with Frankie which is trained to detect traces of accelerants.

We also got to meet the next generation of Tobacco detection dogs!

After the burn we also then work with detection dogs.....come back Thursday for more on that! (and yes there will be puppy pics!)

#DogsWithJobs

Following on from this our postgraduates undertake a #forensic fire scene excavation, recovering and analysing exhibits, thus producing and evidential statement in prep to present their evidence as an expert in court.

John and Dave conduct the burn and provide live educational input around the fire spread and subsequent smoke patterns as it happens in real time in our arson facilities on campus.

On our Crime Scene to Court module our students will later apply these skills in both our Crime Scene House and Forensic Simulation Centre on campus in mock real life scenarios, and even in simulated scene assessments.

Given by Hannah Vincent to a packed house, the talk explored how fundamental physical principles help investigators uncover hidden evidence and reconstruct crime scenes. From calculating bullet trajectories with mechanics to analysing blood spatter patterns using fluid dynamics.

Led by Dr Chris Aris and Cora Cisan (#Histopathology PhD Student and Demonstrator in Forensic Science), the students developed their tissue ID skills, ahead of a diagnostic histology and soft tissue histology lab at Keele Medical School.

Huge congrats again to Catherine and all the team at School of Dental Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh!

You can find the full #OpenAccess article here: www.frontiersin.org/journals/ora...

Catherine and colleagues investigated the association between dental caries and cardiovascular disease. While more biomedical in nature, Catherine is now lending her talents to #forensic #research at #KeeleUniversity, highlighting the cross over between these two fields.

She visited campus to discuss and consult with our Dr Chris Aris on his work on the sale of human remains and historical data gathering practices in #BiologicalAnthropology and #ForensicAnthropology. She also visited our #ForensicBiology research labs and met some of our post graduate researchers!

Dr Booker does incredible work in the archival, relocation, and #repatriation of indigenous remains, as well as vital work in interdisplinary #research and #education in #ResearchEthics and #DataScience.

These awards shine a spotlight on the innovation-led organisations, businesses, not-for-profits and charities that have benefitted from the suite of innovative support programmes that are available from #KeeleUniversity. So we were delighted to see one of our team recognised in such an amazing way!
