Hello everyone! This year, the New Jersey School of Conservation (NJSOC) together with Montclair State University and Rutgers University will be holding the fourth annual Forensic Entomology Workshop (FEW)! FEW is a two-week long workshop (with 1 week options available) that covers the field of forensic entomology, specifically with a focus on medico-legal entomology. Participants will have two weeks of room and board, educational activities (lectures, field work and lab work) and lots of recreational activities, such as boating, archery and climbing.
For those who are interested, included in the workshop is also a guided visit to the Newark morgue, where the participants will attend a lecture on common practices of legal medicine and on how law enforcement forces handle human remains after they are discovered; depending on availability, the participants will also have the possibility to observe an autopsy. This course is held at the NJSOC in Branchville, NJ, located about 1 hr from NYC. This course has the option to be taken for credits (through Rutgers or Montclair), although not required. Participants will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the 2 week program. This course will take place June 20th 2016- July 1st 2016.
