Title: Facing the Future
This presentation discusses the need to face the issues that have arisen in the field of forensic science, and move forward. To do so, we must embrace technology that has been developed to improve the science, the objectivity, and the accuracy of our examinations. We must do so, not because we are being ‘forced to’ by critics, academics, and commenters; but because we must evolve as a science. If we wish to thrive in the future, we must face and embrace the future.
