July 21-23 -- Some 150 academics, students, forensic pathologists, law enforcement officials and lawyers will gather for the second North American Forensic Entomology Conference in Davis, Calif. Forensic entomologists analyze insects and their arthropod relatives -- particularly those that inhabit decomposing bodies -- to determine details, such as time of death, that are significant in legal proceedings. The conference will include forensic arthropod-identification workshops, demonstrations and lectures. Meetings and colloquia will be held in the Social Sciences and Humanities Building at UC Davis, with registration, poster sessions and socials at the nearby Hallmark Inn.
