JFS Announces Tenth Forensic Lab Talks Seminar!

I am delighted to announce that the tenth Journal of Forensic Sciences (JFS) Forensic Lab Talks Seminar, titled Phenotyping of Externally Visible Characteristics, is scheduled for September 10 at 1:00 pm ET. The seminar will be presented by Dr. Susan Walsh, Professor of Biology at the Indiana University Indianapolis, Indiana. Additional information on this virtual seminar, as well as the link to register, will be forthcoming next month.  

As announced previously, JFS has joined forces with Wiley to present a series of virtual educational seminars for forensic scientists. The series covers a range of topics important to our forensic community highlighting the most recent methods and best practices in areas such as forensic chemistry (covering spectroscopy, microscopy, and other techniques), toxicology, trace evidence, DNA analysis, and many more.  

The Forensic Lab Talks Seminar Series is provided FREE OF CHARGE as a value-added member benefit.

The ninth Forensic Lab Talks seminar, titled LipSynch Battle: Synchrotron Spectroscopic Imaging for the Study of Forensic Cosmetic Traces, presented by Dr. Georgina Sauzier, was a tremendous success with approximately 600 registrants. We were thrilled by the interest shown from the forensic community for our FLT #9 seminar and for those who participated, thank you again for contributing to its success.  

We are excited about offering our tenth Forensic Lab Talks virtual educational seminar on September 10, 2025. PLEASE SAVE THE DATE!   

Thank you for your continued support of JFS and its initiatives. For questions about the seminar series, please contact JFS Managing Editor Brenda Peat at bpeat@aafs.org.
