Join us at the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine (VIFM) for an insightful panel discussion during National Science Week.

This free event will explore the critical role of forensic science in our justice system, focusing on the analysis of drugs in human samples and their effects on behaviour. Our panel of forensic experts will delve into the cutting-edge forensic technologies and methodologies used to detect different substances and the impact they have on human physiology. Come along to gain a deeper understanding of how forensic science supports criminal investigations and community safety.

Following the hour-long discussion, there will be a 30-minute Q&A session where you can engage directly with the experts, ask questions, and explore new and emerging forensic technologies. This is a unique opportunity for university students and science enthusiasts to learn from leaders in the field of forensic medicine.
