On November 17, 2023, the Australian National University’s College of Law convened a day-long workshop (see the program here) about science that affects law and policy, and how it is communicated. I was lucky enough to be a part of this workshop.
This workshop started with the big picture, the values and norms inherent to science. It then spanned outwards to current issues in scientific communication, revolutions in forensic science – a field designed to address applied legal problems – and finally the implications of the pardon of Kathleen Folbigg after 20 years spent in Australia’s penal system.
