SUMMARY:WA Branch Seminar: Operation Trink
DESCRIPTION:Anecdotal evidence suggests that drink spiking incidents have been increasing in recent years. Determining the actual prevalence of these crimes is challenging\, with limited opportunities to obtain information as victims do not have easy access to forensic testing. \nThe WA Police Force; in collaboration with ChemCentre\, the Sexual Assault Resource Centre and Royal Perth Hospital; have developed a novel procedure to collect valuable forensic evidence that can support the victims of these crimes. \nAll are welcome to join as we hear from Dr. Renee Jelly (WA Police) and Banafsheh Behrouzi (ChemCentre) as they detail the work undertaken to implement this important initiative. \nNetworking over light refreshments will start from 5:30 pm with the presentation to begin at 6:00 pm. \nBooking Link: https://members.anzfss.org/booking.php?id=45

SUMMARY:WA Seminar: The Many Faces of 'Visual Identification of Persons'
DESCRIPTION:Facial images are used as evidence of identity in forensic investigations into terrorism\, abuse\, identity fraud\, or traffic law violations. Visual identification of persons is based on the anthropological comparison of morphological facial features\, which is a method recommended by forensic guidelines\, and admissible in court for conclusions regarding identity. In contrast\, facial recognition is based on the innate ability of humans to recognize previously seen faces. This presentation will provide insight into the practice of visual identification of persons from the perspective of a forensic anthropologist turned facial examiner for a European law enforcement agency. \nOur guest presenter\, Dr Zuzana Obertová\, is currently an Adjunct Lecturer in forensic anthropology at the University of Western Australia. She is the Vice-President of the Forensic Anthropology Society of Europe (FASE)\, Assistant Editor at Forensic Science International\, certified technical assessor for facial image comparison\, and co-editor of the book ‘Statistics and Probability in Forensic Anthropology’. Her current research interests encompass morphological assessment of skeletal remains\, trauma analysis\, stable isotope analysis\, and facial image comparison.

SUMMARY:ANZFSS NSW - Insights from the Forensic Participation in the Aftermath of New Zealand's Largest Mass Shooting Incident in Christchurch 2019.
DESCRIPTION:For the first event of 2024\, ANZFSS NSW will host a talk  by ESR forensic scientist Angus Newton on the forensic participation in the 2019 mass shooting in Christchurch. \nAt two Islamic mosques in Christchurch on the 15th of March 2019\, 51 people were killed and 49 injured in New Zealand’s single worst mass shooting incident. ESR staff were amongst the numerous organisations assisting the NZ Police deal with the aftermath and forensically examine the scenes. This presentation will relate the examinations and experiences of those staff at the scenes. The focus however will be on the lessons taken from those experiences of such a large-scale tragedy\, in the hope that the benefits might be passed on in the event of something similar occurring in the future. \nAngus Newton has been working in forensic science for 26 years which includes 13 years as a trained firearms and toolmark examiner with the Auckland laboratory of the Institute of Environmental Science and Research (ESR) in New Zealand. He has previously published research findings in many scientific journals. He has attended and presented at the biennial ANZFSS symposiums on a number of occasions\, having previously been awarded “Best Oral Presentation” at the Gold Coast symposium in 2000. \nDate: 15th February 2024 \nTime: 6:00pm arrival for 7:00pm start. Note: Zoom broadcast will begin at 7:00pm. \nLocation: The Green Theatre\, University of Technology Sydney. 67 Thomas Street\, Ultimo. Building 7\, level 2. \nPrice: Free for members. $20 for non-members.

SUMMARY:ANZFSS NSW - 2023 Annual General Meeting - Proteomics in Forensic Science: From Basic to Applications
DESCRIPTION:Proteins in their most basic form are a linear chain of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. They are the workhorse macromolecules of the cell with a diverse array of structures and functions. Proteomics refers to the large-scale study of proteomes (the entire set of proteins that are or can be produced by a cell\, tissue or organism) with the aim of identifying and quantifying proteoform abundance changes between samples (or over time) or investigating the involvement of specific proteoforms in metabolic pathways. It is important to note that the proteome\, similar to the metabolome\, is extremely dynamic and differs from cell to cell and varies over time\, which poses challenges in the experimental design. Analytical advances in mass spectrometric techniques in recent years have led to the development of a multitude of proteomics workflows\, which have also been incorporated into forensic science research. Most commonly\, so called “bottom-up” experiments are conducted\, where during sample preparation the proteoforms are broken down into smaller peptides by means of an enzyme (e.g. trypsin) \nThe resulting peptide fragments can then be readily analysed using targeted or untargeted liquidchromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Current examples of forensic applications utilising proteomics workflows include (but are not limited to) body fluid and tissue identification\, proteomic genotyping\, sex and age estimation\, estimation of the postmortem interval as well as estimation of the age of a deposited blood sample. While proteomic analytical approaches have the potential to support and improve forensic casework practices in the future\, most studies are still in the discovery phase and require thorough validation before implementation. \nAll are welcome to join\, please see below for details! \nThis event will also host a short Annual General Meeting for the NSW Branch\, please come along to influence the ongoing prosperity of the branch. Refreshments will be provided. \nDoors Open: 6:00 PM \nAGM starts: 6:45 PM (Zoom video broadcast will commence at this time for online attendees). \nPresentation Starts: After AGM ~7:00-7:15 PM \nLocation: Henry Carmichael Theatre\, Sydney Mechanics School of Arts 280 Pitt St Sydney \nTicket Costs:\nCurrent ANZFSS Members: Free\nNon-Members: $20\nZoom Video Link Only: Free
