Forensic pathologist Asser Thomsen from Aarhus University invites you to a fascinating insight into the world of forensic investigation. In conversation with Police Museum director Frederik Strand, he shares his knowledge of working with suspicious deaths – work far more characterized by thoroughness and caution than the dramatic crime series universe many are familiar with.
From examining tiny skin abrasions to securing DNA samples with cotton swabs, learn how the forensic pathologist interprets evidence to determine whether a death resulted from accident or violence. Even when measurements and formulas are available, answers are rarely unambiguous – forensic medicine is fundamentally a matter of careful interpretation of traces and acknowledgment of uncertainty.
The event takes place after museum hours and provides insight into crucial public work. As an added benefit, you receive free access to the museum's exhibitions the same day, and beverages can be purchased on site.
