We all cheer when the forensic scientist cracks the television murder case but how does the screen science stack up against the real thing? Join Virginia Trioli, presenter on Mornings for ABC Radio Melbourne along with forensic specialists Dr Richard Bassed and Professor David Ranson, as they put fictional forensics under the microscope.
**Please be advised this event has been cancelled to minimise transmission of COVID-19 and undue pressure on the Victorian health system.** ABC Science returns to the Royal Society of Victoria for a special podcast recording event. Ockham’s Razor is the ABC’s soapbox for all things scientific: stories, insights, arguments or tributes – anything that can grip an audience by the ears for 10 straight minutes.
**Please be advised this event has been cancelled due to our speaker’s inability to travel from the UK under quarantine measures to slow the transmission of COVID-19. We hope to feature Professor Mather in our program later in 2020.**
Professor Tamsin Mather
Professor of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford
**Please be advised this event has been cancelled to minimise transmission of COVID-19 and undue pressure on the Victorian health system.** Short, 3-minute presentations by researchers and entrepreneurs will share how they are contributing to eradicating disease or poverty, ensuring the security of our food for generations, preserving our natural environment, or reinventing the future of our industries. An amazing opportunity to witness first-hand the cutting-edge research making a difference. You will hurt your head, make meaningful connections and leave with inspiration to burn!
