Dr Aleks Marsh and Dr Alan Mullan welcome back special guest Dr Matteo Gallidabino who is a Senior Lecturer in Forensic Science at Northumbria University. Matteo recently participated in series 1 of our podcast and has kindly agreed to join us for another episode.

We ask Matteo what information can we extract from chemical evidence? How can chemical information be used to track a weapon or explosive back to its source? And how different is the field of forensic science from what is portrayed in TV shows?

Check out Matteo’s profile at Northumbria University for more information and recent publications. https://www.northumbria.ac.uk/about-us/our-staff/g/matteo-d-gallidabino/
