microbe talk: august 2015
posted on august 20, 2015 by anand jagatia
could the mud and soil a person walks through be used to identify where they’ve been? in part two of our forensic microbiology special, we look at the ways that soil from crime scenes can help pinpoint the whereabouts of people and objects in police investigations.
we spoke to professor lorna dawson from the james hutton institute about her work on criminal cases, and how microbiology is being used to enhance the field of soil forensics.
