SUMMARY:ANZFSS NSW - Biogeographical Ancestry Prediction in Forensic Investigations with Felicity Poulsen
DESCRIPTION:Felicity is a Research & Development Scientist within the Forensic DNA Unit at the NSW Health Pathology Forensic & Analytical Science Service (FASS) and a part-time PhD candidate at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Centre for Genomics and Personalised Health. Felicity’s research has focused on emerging DNA analysis technologies and their application to forensic investigations. Felicity’s current work relates to the use of biogeographical ancestry prediction to provide intelligence to investigators in criminal and coronial casework\, which is the topic of her PhD project. \nThe project is a collaboration between FASS and QUT and aims to investigate potential sources of error within BGA prediction workflows and develop a robust methodology for evaluating and comparing the performance of BGA analysis methods. It is anticipated that the findings will help to inform improvements to current methods\, with the aim to provide more accurate\, reliable and actionable BGA predictions for casework. \nIn 2024\, Felicity was awarded the Eric Murray Professional Achiever’s Award which supported a trip to Santiago de Compostela\, Spain to present her work at the 30th Congress of the International Society of Forensic Genetics and visit the University of Santiago de Compostela to meet with leading international researchers on the topic of Forensic BGA prediction. \nFelicity will discuss her PhD work and share how the Eric Murray award has helped support the project and her professional development as an early career researcher. \nDate: 19th February \nTime: 6pm doors will open\, 7pm presentation starts. Zoom broadcast will begin at 7pm. \nLocation: Lancer Barracks\, 2 Smith Street\, Parramatta. Please note\, if you arrive after 7pm you will be unable to enter. \nPrice: Free for members. $10 for non-members.

SUMMARY:ANZFSS Victoria - Unveiling Hidden Truths: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Locating Clandestine Graves
DESCRIPTION:Currently in Australia\, there are at least 2\,600 long-term missing persons. While most people do not go missing under suspicious circumstances\, there are some that are unfortunately the victims of homicide. After the commission of a homicide\, the offender may choose to engage in ‘detection avoidance behaviours’ or\, colloquially put\, getting rid of the evidence\, and one of the ways to do that is to bury their victims. By nature\, clandestine graves are difficult to find and are a key challenge to law enforcement. While there are many techniques available for searching for graves\, this talk will focus on a multidisciplinary approach that combines both technical (remote sensing) and theoretical (geographic profiling) methods. By using a multidisciplinary method\, we are increasing the chances of locating clandestine graves\, and thus the victims themselves\, which can increase the chances of getting a successful prosecution as well as to provide families with the answers that they deserve. \nDr Victoria (Tori) Berezowski is a lecturer of forensic science at Deakin University. She is trained as a forensic anthropologist\, with interest in the intersection between forensic science\, criminology\, and geophysical sciences. Tori’s research focuses on exploring the techniques available for clandestine grave and missing persons searches\, including criminological theory\, remote sensing\, and 3D technologies. \nDate: Wednesday\, 26th February\, 18:00. \nLocation: Victoria Police Forensic Services Centre\, 31 Forensic Drive\, Macleod. \nBookings essential\, members or guests of members. \nhttps://www.trybooking.com/CYTGE
