The Royal Institution - Christmas Lectures 2022 - Secrets of Forensic science
The Royal Institution's 2022 Christmas Lectures - Secrets of forensic science, were broadcast on the BBC in late December. This collection of resources from the STEM Learning digital resource collection can support themes addressed in this three lectures series presented by Professor Dame Sue Black:
- What human bones can reveal about the age, sex, diet, ancestry and medical history of a person
- Identifying a person from one fragment and identifying the individuals found in a mass grave from the bones recovered
- The use of fingerprinting and DNA testing in court cases
- How to identify living people from their veins, wrinkles and memories.
During the lectures the professor reveals why people should not believe everything they see in TV crime dramas and highlights some stand-out cases from her remarkable career. She explores the major advances in forensic science, some of its limitations, and what the future might hold.
Further details about the lectures can be found on the Royal Institution website.
