Metagenomics analysis has enabled the measurement of the microbiome diversity in environmental samples without prior targeted enrichment. Functional and phylogenetic studies based on microbial diversity retrieved using HTS platforms have advanced from detecting known organisms and discovering unknown species to applications in disease diagnostics. Robust validation processes are essential for test reliability, requiring standard samples and databases deriving from real samples and in silico generated artificial controls.

While estimating postmortem interval (PMI) ambient temperature plays a pivotal role, so its reconstruction is crucial for forensic scientists. The recommended procedure is to correct temperatures from the nearest meteorological station based on measurements from the death scene; typically applying linear regression. Recently, there have been attempts to use different algorithms, that can improve that correction, for example GAM algorithm.

Authentic assessment is becoming increasingly common in higher education, and it can be achieved in forensic science programmes by asking students to complete realistic workplace tasks. We argue that preparing students for the forensic science workplace also means preparing them for the ongoing training and assessment they will experience. Using an online questionnaire of 60 practitioners, we surveyed the assessment methods that are used in forensic science workplaces to assess theoretical knowledge and practical skills.

Bundeskriminalamt, Wiesbaden, Germany; International Commission on Missing Persons, The Hague, The Netherlands.

The ReAct (Recovery, Activity) project is an ENFSI (European Network of Forensic Science Institutes) supported initiative comprising a large consortium of laboratories. Here, the results from more than 23 laboratories are presented. The primary purpose was to design experiments simulating typical casework circumstances; collect data and to implement Bayesian networks to assess the value (i.
