CSI vs Real Forensic Science

When: Wednesday 08 August

Time: 5.30pm - 7.00pm with light refreshments post event 

Location: CSIRO Discovery Centre, Clunies Ross St, Acton ACT 2601

A woman is reported missing. Blood and other physical evidence has been found in her office. Has she met with foul play? A team of forensic scientists have been called to assist in the investigation of the case. 

Come and hear a panel of Australia’s leading forensic experts work through this hypothetical scenario and discover how each of the specialist forensic scientists work together to examine evidence and solve crimes – classically it’s not quite as it appears on TV!

Discover hidden talents that even you may not have known you had – prizes for audience members who can answer various forensic related questions, including :

  • What is Locard’s Exchange Principle?
  • Who is considered the father of the science of fingerprints and why is this so?
  • Sir Alec Jeffreys was the first forensic scientist to use what technique in forensic cases?
  • Who was Calvin Goddard and what was his contribution to Forensic Science?
  • What forensic techniques were used to determine that the Hitler diaries were fake?
