Forensic Sciences Virtual Event Series 2020

This event is now apart of the Genetics Week Virtual Event Series. 

Labroots is pleased to announce our 2nd Annual Event in the Forensic Sciences Virtual Event Series on May 6, 2020. Join us for this free, one-day event on May 6th as we discuss DNA, chemistry, toxicology, digital forensics, and the important marginal area where science and medicine interact with the law.

This years event include the following tracks:

Forensic Research: From Evidence to Testimony

Advances and Challenges in Forensic Research

Analytical Strategy and Application of Analytical Methods in Forensic Toxicology and Pharmacology

Our virtual conference allows you to participate in a global setting with no travel or cost to you. The event will remain open 6 months from the date of the live event.  The webinars will be available for unlimited on-demand viewing.  This virtual conference also offers increased reach for the global microbiology community with a high degree of interaction through live-streaming video and chat sessions.

Like the 2019 conference, this event will be produced on our robust platform, allowing you to watch, learn and connect seamlessly across all desktop or mobile devices. Equipped with gamification and point system, you can now move around the entire event, earning points for a chance to win one of LabRoots' most popular T-shirts.


 

Call for Posters — Virtual poster sessions offer the opportunity to present data to a global audience via a PDF poster and video summary, and discuss results with interested colleagues through email. Plan now to have your poster included in the 2020 Forensic Sciences Virtual Event. Submission is free. Submit your abstract here.

Continuing Education  LabRoots is approved as a provider of continuing education programs in the clinical laboratory sciences by the ASCLS P.A.C.E. ® Program. By attending this event, you can earn 1 Continuing Education credit per presentation for a maximum of 30 credits.
