Forensic Science Graduate Seminar Series
The Department of Forensic Science's FRSC 570 Forensic Science Graduate Seminar serves a dual purpose.
First,
it is a forum at which forensic science graduate
students present the results of their independent
study or
internship
projects and experiences in a professional setting.
Second, graduate students use
the seminar series to invite forensic science professionals
to speak about their work
and
research — providing
students with the opportunity to learn about the
most recent advances,
as well as exposing them to topics that may not receive
in-depth coverage during classes.
Recent talks have
included “Murder by Poison,” presented
by Dr. Al Poklis a toxicologist at the VCU Medical
Center, “Event Data Recorders – Vehicle
Black Boxes – Add a New Dimension to Crash
Reconstruction,” presented
by Robert Breitenbach, director of the VCU Transportation
Safety Training Center and “Automation of Forensic
Science DNA Casework: Present and Future Applications,” presented by Dr. Susan Greenspoon of the Virginia
Department of Forensic Science.
