If you think the forensic landscape in the U.S. or your country is fraught, hoo-boy, just wait until you read Forensic Science in England and Wales, the new Substack by Tiernan Coyle. Tiernan has over twenty years of experience in forensic science and has always used meticulous analysis and social posting to improve the science and profession. He’s worked tirelessly to promote trace evidence, especially fiber examinations, and has worked a number of high-profile cases.
In short, the man knows what he’s talking about and takes deep, autopsy-level dives into the history of forensic science* in England and Wales, what ails it, and what may help heal it.
It’s free, unless you want to buy him a cuppa. Give it a try.
