In a joint collaboration between CSAFE researchers and forensic scientists, we are developing publicly available webinars that touch on a variety of topics relevant to the diverse forensic and applied forensic sciences communities. Our webinars address basic topics in human factors that influence forensic science, statistical foundations that can be applied to forensic science, and training and education for forensic scientists and other stakeholders. Check back regularly for new webinars, and please contact us with any interest in educational collaborations or with questions.
