Identifying the Source with Forensic Science

DNA profiling is currently considered the gold standard in human identification. But just how reliable is DNA profiling, and Forensic Science in general, and should the public have any reason for concern about what is presented in Tasmanian courts?

What techniques are used in criminal and coronial cases here in Tasmania? Is it just like what we see on television?

Join Dr Connor, a senior Forensic Scientist at Forensic Science Service Tasmania, and the Royal Society of Tasmania for the upcoming public lecture Identifying the Source with Forensic Science at QVMAG Inveresk. 

Specialising in the examination of crime scenes, biological testing and DNA profiling, Dr Connor is an Advanced Bloodstain Pattern Analyst with duties include examining items pertaining to criminal and coronial matters in order to give evidence in Tasmanian courts.
