In this webinar, participants will hear from three NIJ-funded researchers whose work offers new ways to estimate blow-fly age and new science to quantify the variance in age estimation that accounts for simple genetic variation within a fly species.
Detailed Learning Objectives:
1. Improvement is needed in the accuracy of blow-fly age estimates.
2. Our research offers two ways to improve it by using a different blow-fly measure than physical size and observed development stage.
3. Our research offers a way to improve it by establishing statistical certainties around time-of-death estimates (estimated date +/- a number of days), based on universal variations in development time within the species.
