The Cutting Edge In Forensic Science | Ever Wondered | Spark
Ever wondered what kind of cutting edge research is happening in forensic science right? And just how the real-life forensic scientists measure up to their tv counterparts? Dr Michael Taylor gives John a crash course in Forensic Science and explains his own field of expertise, Backsplatter. Nardia Foote is a Masters student who works with Michael to try and understand the process of back splatter relating to cranial gunshots. John catches up with Nardia at a firing range where she’s set up an experiment to try to find out what happens when a head is shot with different calibre guns. Using several different guns, some moulded gelatine and plastic casing- to simulate a head and a high-speed camera Nardia sets to work recreating her very own crime scene.
