Target Audience: Trace chemists; general chemists; forensic scientists; students attending forensic science programs

Prerequisites: Awareness of forensic chemistry

Maximum Participants: 25

Description: In this workshop, participants will unravel the crucial role that tiny traces such as Gunshot Residue (GSR), hair fibers, paint particles, explosive residue, and ignitable substances play in solving mysteries and uncovering the truth behind crimes. Every trace, invisible fiber or minuscule particle, holds valuable information waiting to be decoded by forensic experts. Through engaging presentations and hands-on activities, attendees will learn how trace evidence like GSR, hair fibers, paint particles, explosive residue, and ignitable substances can link suspects to crime scenes and/or victims, reconstruct events, and provide compelling insights into criminal investigations. Explore the cutting-edge techniques and methodologies forensic scientists use to analyze and interpret these silent witnesses effectively.

Whether you're a seasoned forensic professional, a curious enthusiast, or someone intrigued by the science behind crime solving, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to expand your knowledge and appreciation for the vital role that minute traces play in the pursuit of justice allowing participants to gain a deeper understanding of how these tiny fragments of evidence can make a monumental difference in solving crimes and bringing perpetrators to justice.

This workshop will also highlight the roles of SWGMAT, SWG-GSR, TWGFEX, OSAC, ASTM, and ISO in maintaining the admissibility of trace evidence analysis.

Don't miss this chance to unlock the secrets hidden in the smallest details and gain a deeper understanding of how forensic science transforms the unseen into undeniable evidence.
