Document Forensics
Trevor Joyce a Forensic Document Examiner from the Scientific Document Services will show you how he can detect forgery, identify which particular pen was used to write a note, and recreate missing documents to help solve crimes.
Soil Forensics
There are many different types of evidence that investigators look for at a crime scene, dirt might not be the most obvious but Rob Fitzpatrick a Soil scientist from CSIRO will show you just how important soil can be in cracking a case.
