laboratories and professional associations to address emerging issues and ensure two-way communication between the community of forensic scientists and the academic research community.<\/li><li><b>Integration<\/b> of research advancements into professional practice by involving forensic science practitioners and laboratories in every stage of the research lifecycle.<\/li><li><b>Development and distribution<\/b> of open-source software tools.<\/li><li><b>Construction<\/b> of new datasets from our team and community partners that are made freely available.<\/li><li><b>Promotion<\/b> of quantitative literacy among forensic scientists and the legal community through formal and informal training activities.<\/li><li><b>Distribution<\/b> of
