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.** We are delighted to once again bring together Victoria’s National Science Week program for August 2020. The Royal Society of Victoria warmly invites everyone interested in being a part of this state-wide celebration of all things Science to come along to our information and networking session here at the Society’s historic headquarters.
Australia’s best and brightest scientists will present three scientific ‘facts’; the catch is, only two are correct! Your job is to discern the truthful statements from the fiction while the scientists do their Oscar-winning best to fool you into believing the latter.
