We have been using technical scientific evidence to assist criminal prosecutions for only about 160 years. Over that time, some of the areas of forensic science have remained essentially unchanged, while others have been revolutionised. What hasn’t changed is the need to communicate the meaning of traces recovered from people and places, and what their analysis means within the context of a case and there in lies the ultimate science communication challenge.

About the biennial Professor Ruth Lynden-Bell Lecture:

Professor Ruth Lynden-Bell Lecture was established to honour Ruth Lynden-Bell, now an Honorary Fellow of the College, and to celebrate the work of women in the field of Chemistry. Ruth began her academic career at the Universities of Cambridge and Sussex before becoming Professor of Chemistry at Queen’s University Belfast in 1995. She is internationally recognised for her pioneering work in computer simulations of liquids and disordered solids, was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 2006, and is author of over 200 papers and key works in molecular simulation. Ruth is a longstanding champion of flexibility for women in science to enable a balance between career and life.
