Do #Christmas decorations go up in November or December?
Well in #ForensicScience its important that we approach everything from a neutral and unbiased point perspective. So our wonderful admin team made sure this held true by starting to our decorations up on Friday, and finished today!

Something a little different today as students on #KeeleUniversity's 'Science and Society' module, run by the #ForensicScience team, tackled different types of #scicomm working to create scientific posters for a chosen topic before translating it for a public audience.

Happy Halloween from the Forensic Team!
Last week, our staff ventured into Keele woods to conjure up some hauntingly brilliant Halloween photos - just for you!
We’re planning to share themed snapshots every month, so if you’ve got a creative idea (or just want to see us get silly), drop us a comment

Recently we've been working on #CrimeScene photography with our third year #ForensicScience students. They are introduced to working with exposure, depth of field, shutter speed, and noise, before putting all this into practice in the lab.
