| | | | |  For the past decade, considerable discussion has been made on the extent to which cognitive bias can impact how decisions are made in forensics. Although cognitive bias can arise naturally for a number of different reasons, significant consequences - including incorrect conclusions, overstatements and impartial decisions - may occur. | | | | |  Hair samples are one of the most important resources in the forensic analysis of crime scenes, often providing valuable information that can help to lead to the identification of a suspect or victim. | | | | |  Microbial forensics is a subfield of forensics that involves the application of scientific techniques to characterize microbial evidence related to an act of bioterrorism, biocrime or the accidental release of a microbial agent or toxin. | | | | |  In mass spectrometry, a sample is analyzed to determine its molecular composition through the generation of a spectrum that reveals the masses of its component parts. A transfer line introduces the sample into the mass spectrometer, either directly or after passing it through a chromatography-based instrument to separate it into its constituent components. | | | | |  Despite the widespread use of medical-grade computed tomography (CT) in death investigations around the world, this imaging technique is often limited in its ability to accurately depict smaller anatomical structures or trauma at the microscopic level. | |
