 ience Serving Justice - the Ultimate Communication Challenge
LOCATION:Cambridge University: Murray Edwards College
DESCRIPTION:We have been using technical scientific evidence to assist cri
 minal prosecutions for only about 160 years. Over that time\, some of the 
 areas of forensic science have remained essentially unchanged\, while othe
 rs have been revolutionised. What hasn’t changed is the need to communic
 ate the meaning of traces recovered from people and places\, and what thei
 r analysis means within the context of a case and there in lies the ultima
 te science communication challenge. The speaker: Professor Niamh Nic Daeid
