Speaker:
Dr. Greg Hampikian with introduction by Bob Hull

Topic:
Our presentation will be a video on Forensic DNA Investigation - The Past, Present, and the Future of DNA, from the Annual Radcliffe Science Symposium. The presentation is by Dr. Greg Hampikian, Founder and Director of the Idaho Innocence Project, Professor of Biology and Criminal Justice at Idaho State University, Boise ID

His presentation consists of seven parts: 1) Some Basic DNA, 2) Methods for Obtaining DNA, 3) DNA Errors, 4) DNA Mixtures, 5) Statistical Issues with DNA Evidence, 6) The State vs. Chen - Timeline, and 7) FBI Confirms Death with DNA.

Because the subject matter is a little complex and some AFIO members may not remember or be familiar with some of the terms, Bob Hull will give a little introduction before showing the video.
