Theakstons Old Peculiar Crime Writing Festival have made an audio recording of what was My Dream Panel available for download (for £3.00).
If you weren't at my Forensics event at Harrogate in July, I can recommend the audio download for entertainment & educational value!
Panellists: Lorna Dawson, Niamh Nic Daeid, James Grieve and Martin Hall
Host: Lin Anderson
Event Description: Few writers can ignore how forensics has transformed detecting crimes, taking the genre from the puzzle in the library to the minutia under the microscope. Join author Lin Anderson, creator of forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod, with a panel of professors.
Lorna Dawson is a Principal Soil Scientist, who has worked on case investigations with the police and Forensic Science Service, as well as advising on TV shows Vera and Silent Witness. Niamh Nic Daeid is Professor of Forensic Science and Director of Research at the Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification at the University of Dundee.
Professor James Grieve was a Senior Lecturer in Forensic Medicine and a Police Forensic Pathologist. And forensic entomologist Martin Hall has worked as an expert witness on over thirty criminal cases, looking at how maggots can provide vital clues to murder.
Run time: 59m 59
Date Recorded: Saturday 18th July 2015
