The debut edition of Forensics Europe Expo takes place this 24-25 April 2013 at London’s Olympia venue. But what’s the thinking behind the show’s launch, and what can visitors expect to gain from attending? Event director Phillip Hunter provides the details

The landscape for the forensics industry has changed considerably in recent times. Up until March 2012, the vast majority of forensic testing in the UK was done by the government’s Forensic Science Service. When the government took the decision to close the service last year, the model for the industry changed massivelyfor good. It’s now an open and free market, and the challenge is to ensure that the facilities used by people like the police and the legal sector are accredited and up to standard...

Get the Knowledge to Protect Yourself

Pipetting is a forceful and repetitive activity, and it is now widely accepted that there is a strong association between pipetting forces and the occurrence of developing Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI's). In fact, pipetting for just over an hour a day over the course of a year is enough to put you at risk, and these risks tend to increase with workload and age. But for most scientists pipetting is an unavoidable daily task, so reducing or even preventing your risk of RSI should be high on your list of priorities. The best way to start protecting yourself is by ensuring you have all the correct facts and advice available about which conditions pose or increase your risk...
