For over seventy years, the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS) has served a distinguished and diverse membership.\u00a0 Over 6,500 members are divided into eleven sections spanning the forensic enterprise. Included among the Academy\u2019s members are physicians, attorneys, dentists, toxicologists, anthropologists, document examiners, digital evidence experts, psychiatrists, physicists, engineers, criminalists, educators, and others. Representing all 50 United States, Canada, and over 60 other countries worldwide, they actively practice forensic science and, in many cases, teach and conduct research in the field as well.\u00a0 Each section provides opportunities for professional development, personal contacts, awards, and recognition.<\/p>\n
The AAFS Annual Scientific Meeting is held in February, at which time over 900 scientific papers, breakfast seminars, workshops, and other special events are presented. The meeting is the largest and most prestigious gathering of forensic professionals who present the most current information, research, and updates in this expanding field.
