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 on 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
