Diatoms are single-celled photosynthetic algae that are found worldwide in all aquatic habitats. Their significance in forensic sciences is attributed to their silica cell wall, termed ‘frustule’, which is extremely stable to chemicals and decay. This means that even after severe decomposition of a biological tissue, diatoms will remain in it and serve as good […]

You would think forensic evidence comes in neat little packages. A bullet or a fingerprint. But in real life it is a mess: explosive residue mixed with dirt, a drop of blood soaked into fabric, a paint chip tangled in fibres. Nothing is ever isolated. So, the prior step is to separate it out, until […]

Ethical issues abound in forensic science work. To begin with, it is often necessary to use human intervention to reach the “final judgment” when preparing and handling evidence. That means, in effect, that the balance of science is sometimes tipped by living experiences and personal ambitions; when preconceptions inevitably arrive at some point later in […]

Multiple lives can be affected, as well as the damages and failures can be created to property and structure due to natural (earthquake, flood, etc.) or man-made (plane crash, fire, etc.) disasters. Mass Disasters generally leave thousands of people affected and most of the deceased decomposed, mutilated and/or burnt beyond recognition. Therefore, the identification of […]

The Earth is home to living things. These include microbes, plants and animals. The Earth has microbes. It also has plants and animals. The Earth supports life. Microbes, plants and animals live on it. They all live together. This is biodiversity. The Earth is an exceptional place and we need to keep it healthy. This […]

When it comes to forensic science, the most common evidence that we all know are fingerprints, bloodstains, bullet traces, etc. But among them, feathers are often the not-so-obvious clues that will lead you to the answer. This is where the application of forensic ornithology comes. This branch of science uses biological evidence that originates from […]

In today’s world, math is not just for school, it helps power computers understand money and do science. A B.Sc. Computational Mathematics and Data Science program mixes math theory with data tech. It prepares students for jobs. In today’s era, data has become one of the most valuable resources for organisations across the world. Business […]
