Announcement

International Association of Forensic Sciences (IAFS) 11/02/11

 

Dear Colleague,
From 14th to 17th September 2011, the 19th Triennial Meeting of the International Association of Forensic Sciences (IAFS) will be held in Funchal (Madeira, Portugal), together with the 9th Triennial Meeting of the World Police Medical Officers (WPMO) and the 5th Meeting of the Mediterranean Academy of Forensic Sciences (MAFS). This joint meeting will be preceded by workshops that will take place between 12th and 14th September.
Several other international associations will also hold their board meetings and/or organize scientific sessions and workshops during IAFS, WPMO & MAFS 2011. These include the AAFS, ENFSI, WAML, ECLM, IALM, FASE, RIAMLCF, ICRC, IRCT, TIFS, IOFOS and IFSA. Although the official language of the meetings will be English, special oral and poster sessions will also take place in French and Spanish as well as parallel meetings in Spanish and Portuguese.
From the scientific point of view, IAFS, WPMO & MAFS 2011 will surely be an unforgettable event and, probably, one of the best scientific meetings ever in the area of forensic sciences. It will involve some of the most renowned international specialists in the field, and all areas of the forensic sciences will be open to discussion and analysis. It is expected the participation of more than 80 countries.
Madeira is an island paradise, with stunning scenery and a subtropical climate. For many, is one of the most beautiful places in the world. With a wide range of activities to entertain tourists, it is a very popular holiday destination. Any stay in Madeira, and its city of Funchal, will certainly prove to be memorable.

Report on the 19th International Symposium on the Forensic Sciences (Melbourne, Australia 6 - 9 Oct 2008)
By Dr Melanie Archer (Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine)

Report on the 19th International Symposium on the Forensic Sciences (Melbourne, Australia 6 - 9 Oct 2008)
Dr Melanie Archer (Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine), Dr James Wallman, Ms Kelly Meikeljohn, Mr Bryan Lessard (University of Wollongong), Ms Kelly George (Deakin University).

This conference is held every two years under the auspices of the Australia and New Zealand Forensic Science Society. The latest meeting, held in Melbourne, attracted over 800 delegates mainly from Australia and New Zealand, but also from a variety of other countries. The programme for this meeting is always diverse, producing the usual problem of choosing between the many fascinating concurrent sessions. The range of subjects encompassed by the conference included counter terrorism, forensic odontology, forensic medicine, fire investigation, digital evidence, forensic toxicology and many other topics.

The conference ran very smoothly, and the session timetable was particularly well planned. There were also ample opportunities for viewing the trade displays and networking, which proved especially valuable for students. The social events were also a great way to unwind and renew old friendships as well as cement new ones.

The entomology section was chaired and coordinated by Dr Melanie Archer (Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine). There was much praise for the presentations from those who attended, and the diversity of topics was impressive. James Wallman (University of Wollongong) delivered a stimulating keynote talk entitled “Forensic Entomology Research in Australia: Advances, Challenges and Future Directions”. This was followed by six oral presentations:

Effect of morphine on the growth rate of Calliphora stygia (Fabricius) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) and possible implications for forensic entomology
