    Forensics 125 exhibition A Really well curated exhibition. A small number of exhibits from cases demonstrating the history and application of key forensic techniques. It was very well displayed and presented. The guide, Liam for us, had excellent knowledge of the subject, was clear and respectful of the victims in the cases he presented. He had Good Interaction with the group and engaged with various interruptions from some of us. But he didnโ€™t lose his thread. I learnt a lot, even about my specialism of fingerprints and was reminded of more from my past reading of crime and forensics - all very inspiring. The mocked up crime scene was great and I enjoyed seeing the reactions to the demonstrations of the latent evidence when the lights went off ! A very fitting tribute to 125 years of Forensic Science at the Met and lovely to know it will soon be available on line on Bloomberg connects. But my advice is that people donโ€™t miss out on the live experience if you can get there.
