Mercy Lecture Series: Understanding the 2012 Elections and What Lies Ahead?

Did he and Governor Romney run smart campaigns? What was the role of demographic changes in America? What role, if any, did luck play? And what does all this presage for the midterm election of 2014 and for future Presidential elections? Why did Senator-elect Murphy defeat Linda McMahon? Who ran the better campaign and what role, if any, did sexism play? Will Democarats keep the Senate and Republicans keep the House in 2014? And, maybe most important of all, will the President and a divided Congress manage to find a way to forge meaningful and productive compromises to address our ever pressing problems? $25 per person, per session Click here for more information about the Mercy Lecture Series. _______________________________________________________ |
Mercy Lecture Series: The Real World of Forensic Science Elaine M. Pagliaro '73, DAA '93: Forensic Consultant & Director, Grants & Research for the Henry C. Lee Institute of Forensic Science Tuesday, February 5, 2013 The Bruyette Athenaeum, Second Floor Reception Room 11:00 a.m. Lunch - 11:40 a.m. Presentation
With the success of shows like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation , Bones and Criminal Minds viewers learn about the application of high-tech forensic science to criminal investigations. These accounts are based in the realities of forensic investigation, but provide a viewpoint that is meant to be more entertaining than factual. As a result, many people expect that all crimes involve physical evidence and any case can be solved using scientific techniques. The impact of these expectations on jury trials and other legal proceedings is very real and has been dubbed the " CSI effect." This presentation will examine both the myth and the reality of forensic science in such areas as DNA analysis, hair and fiber comparisons, firearms and fingerprint testing. Several famous and infamous cases will be used to examine the current status and future expectations of the application of the principles of chemistry, molecular biology and other physical sciences in this exciting field.
$25 per person, per session Click here for more information about the Mercy Lecture Series. _______________________________________________________ |
