The previously announced Journal of Forensic Sciences (JFS) Forensic Lab Talks Seminar, titled Phenotyping of Externally Visible Characteristicsis scheduled for October 16 at 1:00pm ET has been postponed (Date TBD).

The seminar will be presented by Dr. Susan Walsh, Associate 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 eighth Forensic Lab Talks seminar, titled High Performance Computing Tools to Identify Novel Psychoactive Substances in Toxicology Samplespresented by Dr. Aaron Shapiro, was a tremendous success with approximately 1,000 registrants. We were thrilled by the interest shown from the forensic community for our FLT #8 seminar and for those who participated, thank you again for contributing to its success.

We are excited about offering our ninth Forensic Lab Talks virtual educational seminar which will take place on May 7, 2025 at 10:30 am ET.

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.
