Emma Macturk, Chemistry: "Advances in Forensic Chemistry for the Courtroom"Forensic chemistry analysis is essential in criminal evidence analysis and court proceedings. This includes the use of fingerprints to identify suspects. Incomplete prints, called fingermarks, are often not useful to identify individuals, but a new chemical technique shows promise in understanding their composition. This technique separates compounds found in sweat and generates visual data useful when presenting forensic evidence to a jury. In this talk by Emma Macturk, master’s student in chemistry, learn the science behind forensic analysis that could decide outcomes of criminal investigations.
Free and open to the public. The Emerging Scholars Series is a partnership between the Arts & Sciences Graduate Center at William & Mary and the Williamsburg Regional Library (WRL). The series features W&M graduate students in talks hosted by the WRL intended to bring cutting-edge research to the local community. www.wrl.org
