- Professor Lorna Dawson, CBE, FRSE, FRSA is a soil scientist, Head of Forensic Soil Science at the James Hutton Institute in Aberdeen, and a visiting professor at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen. She is a registered expert with the National Crime Agency, has provided over 100 reports to the Criminal Justice System in the UK and overseas, and regularly presents evidence in court.
Lorna’s talk covers the important role of soil in the Criminal Justice System and provide examples of how new research can deliver to cold case investigations, including 1970's "The World's End" murders in Edinburgh, Scotland - which went unsolved for decades. It will also link to how life’s experiences can profoundly impact one's life achievements.
New methods of forensic science are being developed all the time. Lorna highlights the importance of continuing to inspire young people to remain curious, as they will be the ones who come up with the important forensic developments of the future.

What I love most is how passionate she is about justice, and how she never once left the victim’s side, never once tried to imagine herself in the position of the criminal, like we can be inclined to do. This woman said “We don’t romanticize criminals here”
This talk is something what I wanted to see. Thank you TeD
