We invite you all to join us at a full day Forensic Science workshop at the Society for Marine Mammalogy Biennial Conference in beautiful Puerto Rico on Saturday, October 17, 2026.
Organizers: Megan Stolen, Blue World Research Institute and Kaylin McNulty, DVM, DACVP, Mississippi State University Presentations include: Blunt and sharp force trauma in cetaceans and manatees, forensic photography and documentation, decomposition and postmortem timing, case reviews and successful prosecutions, forensic laboratory techniques, and welfare. Participants will have opportunities for hands-on demonstrations with alternative light source imagery, evidence collection, chain of custody, net and line marks and ballistics. We plan to have time for small group discussions about cases that participants want to discuss from their own work (bring your mystery cases!). This workshop is perfect for veterinarians, stranding responders, law enforcement, resource managers and the "forensically curious". Questions about the workshop are welcome via email to: [email protected] Visit the SMM conference page to sign up. We hope to see you there. https://www.smmconference.org/workshops/#1776734103461-0fd7d94c-0a91 Megan Stolen, MSc., ABFE-T Senior Scientist Blue World Research Institute wildlife ecology ~ health ~ forensic science
