Are you interested in forensic science, pathology and decomposition? Would you like to find out more about how bodies change after death, and how this information can be used to help a criminal investigation?
If so, this one-day workshop is for you! This unique, exciting workshop will give you a chance to learn about decomposition, bones and bugs. This workshop is perfect for 16-19 year olds thinking about following a career in forensic science, medicine, biomedical sciences or veterinary science, but anyone with similar interests can come along.
This workshop is delivered by experienced Forensic Anthropologists from the University of Central Lancashire, and gives you the chance to get up close to real dead bodies (animal) to learn about the processes of decomposition, and how they vary over time and in different environments. The workshop includes a visit to UCLan鈥檚 amazing animal decomposition research facility, 鈥淭RACES鈥�, where you will see the exciting research projects we are undertaking.
The workshop will give attendees insight into the estimation of post-mortem interval, an understanding of how decomposition processes can vary, and how this science can be used to aid forensic investigations.
Attendees will receive a certificate of attendance and goodie bag, and have something impressive to put on their personal statements.
