     This week two movies about repercussions and the remorse of those who have to deal with them.     Frances Glessner Lee was born into a wealthy family and had a lifelong interest in medicine and the burgeoning science of forensics. Dedicating her life and fortune to progressing the field. Her masterwork being the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death, a series of intricate dioramas with a wide variety of victims from all social classes and manners of death, which inspired many institutions and even fictional depictions over the last century. Just how long a shadow can be cast... Of Dolls and Murder?     Leonor Reyes was once a major player in the Filipino film industry, creating a string of action hits. Now Leonor is retired and she, with her son Rudie, are struggling to pay the bills. After reading an ad calling for scripts, Leonor brushes off her unfinished final project. Tragically a serious blow to the head finds her waking up in her script, revising it in real time. Meanwhile, Rudie is desperately trying to find a way to connect to his comatose mother through the pages she left behind. The feature debut of writer-director Martika Ramirez Escobar... Leonor Will Never Die.    All that and panic over next week's Secret Satan begins to take hold.

A former EMT/paramedic Bruce Goldfarb is an award-winning journalist whose work has appeared on All Things Considered, the Washington Post, USA Today, American Health, Baltimore magazine, and many other print and online publications. Goldfarb was executive assistant to the Chief Medical Examiner for the State of Maryland from 2012 to 2022. In that role, he was public information officer for the OCME and curator of the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death. His first book, 18 TINY DEATHS, was released in 2020 and outlines the extraordinary story of Frances Glessner Lee, an independently wealthy matriarch who revolutionized the field of forensic death investigation and who is well known for her crime scene dioramas recreated in minute detail. Goldfarb's second book, OCME, Life in America's Top Forensic Medical Center, details the precarious state of forensic death investigation, which in many parts of the country is failing to provide essential public health services to the public. Originally aired on: Nov 16, 2023

Frances Glessner Lee was the mother of modern forensic medicine; as an heiress and socialite, she might have been expected by her peers to live a staid, placid life. Her immersion into the gory and sometimes alarming world of post-mortem medical work led to remarkable scientific advancement in the field. Working on the famous "Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death" - realistic miniature dioramas of crime scenes for training purposes - made her a household name, but her diligence in outreach and research made her irreplaceable.

Odcinek #119, w którym w siedzibie wydawnictwa Bo.wiem rozmawiam z prof. dr hab. Małgorzatą Kłys z Katedry Medycyny Sądowej Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego i Iwoną Sadecką, byłą doradczynią ds. mediów i kultury w konsulacie USA w Krakowie o życiu praktycznej idealistki. Dzielimy się wrażeniami z lektury książki Bruce'a Goldfarba pt. „18 zbrodni w miniaturze. Nieznana historia Frances Glessner Lee i początków współczesnej kryminalistyki”.Pytam o to co fascynuje nas w postaci R jak reformatorki amerykańskiej medycyny sądowej. Dzięki książce przyglądamy się B jak biografii Lee niczym precyzyjnej makiecie modelarskiej i badamy każdy S jak szczegół. Tworzy się opowieść o wielkiej osobowości, która dorastała w konserwatywnym świecie chicagowskich elit. Jest D jak dzieciństwo i D jak diorama w skali 1:12. Zahaczamy o H jak Hollywood i O jak orkiestrę symfoniczną. Pojawia się P jak perfekcjonizm, C jak cierpliwość, E jak emancypacja i T jak true crime. Z bohaterką odcinka związana jest Z jak zmiana: na Harvardzie, w popkulturze, literaturze gatunkowej, kinematografii, w prawie oraz społecznym rozumieniu K jak koronera i L jak lekarza sądowego.Na koniec docieramy do C jak celu, na którym zależało Lee: obronie N jak niewinnych.Partnerem tego odcinka jest Audioteka- dobrze opowiedziane historie.

19 Puppenhäuser, hübsch eingerichtet, kleine Möbel, winzige Blumen in der Vase - heile Welt und dann plötzlich eine blutüberströmte Leiche, mittendrin, ein Messer im Rücken... Keine echte Leiche, sondern eine Puppe, aber so realistisch, dass die Fotos der Horror-Puppenstube nahezu echt aussehen. Gebaut hat sie Frances Glessner Lee. Ursprünglich wollte sie Ärztin werden, wurde aber früh verheiratet und beinahe wären ihr handwerkliches Geschick und ihr gutes Auge nie zum Einsatz gekommen. Aber in ihrer zweiten Lebenshälfte stellt sie ihr Leben auf den Kopf und stürzt sich in die Welt echter Kriminalgeschichten. Die Puppenhäuser und ein Bild von Frances: http://bit.ly/3mfe9xw Und damit willkommen zum ersten True Science-Podcast! Wir reden über die absurden, irren, romantischen und verworrenen Geschichten hinter Entdeckungen und Erfindungen. Denn in der Wissenschaft gibt es jede Menge Gossip! Wir erzählen zum Beispiel, wie die Erfinderin des heutigen Schwangerschaftstests mit Hilfe einer Büroklammerbox den Durchbruch schaffte, oder wie eine Hollywood-Schauspielerin den Grundstein für unser heutiges WLAN legte. Immer samstags - am Science-Samstag. Wir, das sind Marie Eickhoff und Luisa Pfeiffenschneider.

Do you think you could solve a murder just by looking at a miniature re-creation of the crime scene? Frances Glessner Lee thought so. The Chicago heiress is known as the “mother of forensic science” for developing the tool that taught law enforcement how to investigate the scenes of unexplained deaths. The historic Glessner House in South Loop, where Lee's family lived from 1887–1937, now has a life-sized version of one of her miniatures on display, free to view on Fridays and Saturdays through April 14. Producer Simone Alicea visited Glessner House last year and talked with executive director Bill Tyre. This conversation was originally published March 24, 2022. Good News: C2E2 is March 31–April 2!

The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death: 18 intricately detailed dioramas depicting unfortunate dolls in various states of death, created by mother of forensic science Frances Glessner Lee in the 1930s […] The post The Nutshell Studies: Investigating Death at the Smallest Scale appeared first on WORT-FM 89.9.

Krys skips the spooky stuff this year but makes Tori squee with the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death. These were teaching tools made by Frances Glessner Lee to teach forensics. This lady was the shit and the Patron Saint of Policemen or the Mother of Forensics. The Nutshells debuted in 1943 and were saved by a former student. These helped investigators get it right for once. Tori tells the story of the rope swing and how we have a weird tie to a serial killer. Fox Hollow Farm and the tale of Herb Baumeister, the suspected I-70 killer. This man picked up gay men in Indianapolis and brought them to our next of the woods in Carmel. This house confused the fuck out of me, but it had a pool in the basement. He was caught due to his becoming scared of his behavior and agreeing to a search of the property. 11 sets of remains were identified and found on the property. Unfortunately Herb escaped and killed himself in Ontario. FYI, you want ghosts…the house is haunted.  Krys continues with the Gruenwald Historic House in Anderson, IN. This living history museum is on a Delaware Tribal Burial Ground. Not shockingly enough, this place is haunted. #youwantsghostsOur Sources: Alanehunter.com, Americanart.si.edu, Atlasobscura.com, Deathindiorama.com, indystar.com, murderpedia.com, the-line-up.com, zillow.com, Thisisindiana.angelfire.com, Encyclopedia of Haunted Central Indiana, Thegruenewaldhouse.com, Heraldbulletin.com, Onlyinyourstate.com, Bestonlinepsychics.netOur theme music: “Danse Macabre - Busy Strings" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Support our show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/trendylobotomypodcast Find us at FB/Instagram @TrendyLobotomyPod and at Twitter @TrendyPod as well as our blog trendylobotomypodcast.blogspot.com Support the show

Frances Glessner Lee was from one of early Chicago's most prominent families, living on one of the cities wealthiest blocks — Prairie Avenue, now a historic neighborhood in the South Loop. She also basically created forensic science. Lee created miniature death scenes that would help police better investigate crimes by considering all the different scenarios that could happen. And to say these recreations were detailed is an understatement. Lee would dress the corpses. The doorknobs and the keys for the doors actually worked. There was a tiny little mouse trap, and if a tiny little mouse had stepped on it, it would have actually gone off. In an unusual move for the time, Lee's parents educated her and her brother in the same way, preparing her to work in a male-dominated field. City Cast's Simone Alicea learns more about Frances Glessner Lee from Glessner House executive director Bill Tyre ahead of a celebration of the mother of forensic science. Friday's celebration is sold out. But you can book tours at the Glessner House, where a recreation of one of Lee's models will now be available to see.

Paige's week! Sorry in advance about the audio, we had some technical difficulties!Today Paige takes us on a journey around the world and talks about a little bit of nightmare fuel: dolls. We go to Mexico City to the Isla de las Muñecas, the most famous site known for its dolls. It began with a man named Don Julian Santana Barrera, claiming that a little girls spirit haunted the island.Next we arrive in Japan in Nagoro Village, or better known as Nagoro Doll/Scarecrow Village, where a woman named Tsukimi Ayano has made many dolls in honor of the people of her community.We come back to the US to Key West, Florida. Here a museum is the current home of a cursed little guy by the name of Robert the Doll. Robert was giving to a little boy by the name of Eugene Robert Otto in the early 1900s by a servant with questionable motives.Then we end our journey on the East Coast to a badass woman named Frances Glessner Lee, who began the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death with Harvard University. Frances loved Sherlock Holmes and was all about the little details. She made composite recreated crime scenes. She made crime scene dioramas, which are still in use today!http://www.deathindiorama.com/

Forensic science is now baked into the way we solve crimes, and the way we think about crimes being solved. This century there have been thirty four seasons of CSI alone, and the process of crime scene investigation is familiar to anyone who has turned on a television in the last twenty years. But it is a relatively new method and it comes from unusual origins. Frances Glessner Lee began working in what was known in "legal science" in the 1930s and by the end of her life she would have changed the world of forensics forever. Former paramedic and forensic examiner Bruce Goldfarb has written a book about her work titled 18 Tiny Deaths; the Untold Story of Frances Glessner Lee.

Around the end of the second world war, a set of tiny miniature dioramas depicting a variety of deaths were created to help teach investigators how to approach a crime scene. You may have heard of the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death and their maker, Frances Glessner Lee... but you probably didn't know how Lee became interested in forensics, that she used her inheritance to establish a department of legal medicine at Harvard Medical School to accellerate the field, or that she used her political savvy to push the adoption of the medical examiner system in more jurisdictions. We talk...

Check out Susana H. Case!  She is a NYC poet & a sociology professor at New York Institute of Technology.  Listen to us discuss how her academic work and poetics intersects & where she gets her ideas! http://yourartsygirlpodcast.com/episodes http://susanahcase.com Susana reads from her book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIyObZ_PToo http://broadstonebooks.com/Susana_H_Case.html The poems in this collection are inspired by the ways in which gender (and sometimes other divisions) creates opportunities for both victimization and survival. A theme woven throughout is the tension between being objectified and being human. There are three sections. The first section is organized around the idea of the stereotype of the living doll, and rebellion against that concept. The middle section, an ekphrastic section, is inspired by the life and the nutshell studies, crime model constructions, of Frances Glessner Lee, "mother of modern forensics," and includes some black and white images that are in the public domain. The third section, which includes the title poem, focuses more fully on the negative effects of objectified existences. Bio: Susana H. Case is the author of seven books of poetry. Drugstore Blue, from Five Oaks Press, won an Independent Publisher Book Award (IPPY). She is also the author of five chapbooks, two of which won poetry prizes. Her most recent chapbook is Body Falling, Sunday Morning from Milk and Cake Press. One of her collections, The Scottish Café, from Slapering Hol Press, was re-released in a dual-language English-Polish version, Kawiarnia Szkocka by Opole University Press in Poland. Her poems appear widely in magazines and anthologies. Recent poems can be found in: Calyx, The Cortland Review, Fourteen Hills, Portland Review, Potomac Review,Rattle, and RHINO, among others. Dr. Case is a Professor and Program Coordinator at the New York Institute of Technology in New York City.

If you've ever heard the name Frances Glessner Lee you might think "wasn't she that lady who made crime scene dollhouses?" Making dioramas wasn't just her hobby; she actually had profound influence on the field of forensic science. We learn a bit about her in this brief interview with her biographer, Bruce Goldfarb.

S01E01: Mother of Forensic Science Frances Glessner Lee's Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death and Miyu Kojima's Miniature Replicas of Lonely Deaths. In this very first official episode of the Bones & Bobbins Podcast, Haley and Natali discuss Miyu Kojima and Frances Glessner Lee--two women, worlds and decades apart, who combined craft and death in their own amazing way. One would process death and create an act of public service for the living, the other would birth Forensic Science as we know it today.

This week, Rachel and Nathalie are back from a quick mental health break during quarantine. Instead of covering women who have committed crimes, we decided to change things up and talk about two incredible women that have had a positive impact on law enforcement. Rachel starts off describing one of Frances Glessner Lee’s crime scene nutshells (follow this link for an interactive experience http://www.deathindiorama.com/kitchen.html). Lee created mini crime scenes to help train police officers learn how to investigate crime scenes. Nathalie covers the story of Georgia Ann Robinson, the first black woman appointed to be a police officer in the United States. Robinson not only defied gender roles by working on homicide and juvenile cases, she also focused on helping offenders by referring women and girls to social agencies. We discuss how traits that are typically viewed as feminine helped these women bring new perspectives to a male dominated field.

Curious how a grandmother changed the world of forensics by building dollhouses? Check out this week's episode to learn about Frances Glessner Lee, creator of the Nutshell Studies.

Bruce Goldfarb is an award-winning writer whose work has appeared in the Baltimore Sun, Washington Post, USA Today, Baltimore magazine, American Archaeology, American Health and many other publications. Since 2012 Bruce has served as executive assistant to the Chief Medical Examiner for the State of Maryland. He is public information officer for the OCME and curator of the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death. His first book of popular nonfiction, 18 Tiny Deaths: The Untold Story of Frances Glessner Lee and the Invention of Modern Forensics, was released by Sourcebooks in February, 202018 Tiny Deaths is the story of a woman whose ambition and accomplishments far exceeded the expectations of her time, 18 Tiny Deaths follows the transformation of a young, wealthy socialite into the mother of modern forensics...Frances Glessner Lee, born a socialite to a wealthy and influential Chicago family in the 1870s, was never meant to have a career, let alone one steeped in death and depravity. Yet she developed a fascination with the investigation of violent crimes, and made it her life's work. Best known for creating the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death, a series of dollhouses that appear charming―until you notice the macabre little details: an overturned chair, or a blood-spattered comforter. And then, of course, there are the bodies―splayed out on the floor, draped over chairs―clothed in garments that Lee lovingly knit with sewing pins.18 Tiny Deaths, by official biographer Bruce Goldfarb, delves into Lee's journey from grandmother without a college degree to leading the scientific investigation of unexpected death out of the dark confines of centuries-old techniques and into the light of the modern day.Lee developed a system that used the Nutshells dioramas to train law enforcement officers to investigate violent crimes, and her methods are still used today.18 Tiny Deaths transports the reader back in time and tells the story of how one woman, who should never have even been allowed into the classrooms she ended up teaching in, changed the face of science forever.

A tiny knife, a miniature bloodstained blanket. Bruce Goldfarb, of the chief medical examiner’s office, tells us about the tiny clues arranged by a wealthy Chicago socialite. His new book is "18 Tiny Deaths: The Untold Story of Frances Glessner Lee and the Invention of Modern Forensics". During World War II, Lee designed scale models of unexplained deaths, as a tool to teach detectives unbiased observation. Seventy years later, her models are still in use.

di Michela MurgiaPer la Morgana di questo mese partiamo da una casa delle bambole.Perché Frances Glessner Lee, nata alla fine dell‘Ottocento, utilizza gli strumenti a cui può accere (la pittura, il ricamo, la miniatura) per diventare la capa di un mondo di uomini. Con i suoi diorami di bambole morte, preconizzerà la realtà virtuale nel crimine, diventando la prima capitana della polizia femminile negli Stati Uniti.Sarà proprio la vita di Frances a ispirare il personaggio di Jessica Fletcher in “Murder, She Wrote”.Dunque, è una puntata/Matrioska, che parte dalla vita di Frances, per dar vita a Jessica Fletcher, che contiene la vita di Angela Lansbury.Di tutte queste vite parliamo con la scrittrice Caterina Bonvicini.

In the 1940s, Frances Glessner Lee brought new rigor to crime scene analysis with a curiously quaint tool: She designed 20 miniature scenes of puzzling deaths and challenged her students to investigate them analytically. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death and their importance to modern investigations. We'll also appreciate an overlooked sled dog and puzzle over a shrunken state. Intro: In a lecture at Cornell, Vladimir Nabokov considered Gregor Samsa's new species. Siren Elise Wilhelmsen taught a clock to knit a scarf. Flickr and the Smithsonian American Art Museum have image galleries of Frances Glessner Lee's nutshell studies.

This week's lateral thinking puzzle was contributed by listener Dianna Gabbard. Here are two corroborating links (warning -- these spoil the puzzle). We're very sorry to have to say that we recently had to say goodbye to Sasha. We feel very grateful that we got to share our lives with her for over 18 years, but several days ago we learned that she had advanced bone cancer. Until quite recently she had been very active, alert, and engaged in life, so the news was rather a shock to us. The cancer wasn't treatable, and after a few days we realized that the time had come for us to have to say goodbye. She will be very missed, and no beloved pet is ever fully replaceable, but we do hope at some point in the future to find another cat that needs a good home, when we are ready.

Chicago's Glessner House is a National Historic Landmark that was designed by noted American architect Henry Hobson Richardson and completed in 1887 for John Glessner and Frances Glessner. The structure served as an inspiration to architects such as Louis Sullivan, Mies van Der Rohe, and the young Frank Lloyd Wright and helped redefine domestic architecture. On this week’s PreserveCast, we’re talking to Glessner House’s Executive Director and Curator Bill Tyre about the unique design and residents of this house including, Frances Glessner Lee, daughter of John and Frances Glessner. Lee was the first female police captain in the United States, likely the inspiration for Jessica Fletcher in Murder, She Wrote, and is known as “the mother of forensic science.” Her series of extremely detailed dioramas, “Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death,” influenced investigative training for many years. The dioramas were recently featured in an exhibition at the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery in 2018. The Glessner House will host a Birthday Gala in honor of Lee later this month at which her meticulously detailed miniature model of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra will be on display for the first time in six years. Bill Tyre is the Executive Director and Curator at Glessner House Museum. He’s one of just three full-time staff members who manage and maintain one of Chicago’s most famous homes. Glessner House was saved thanks to preservation efforts that resulted in the formation of both the house museum and Chicago Architecture Center in 1966.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been hard at work on a batch of stories you’re going to love. So this week, we're sharing one of our favorite eps from the fall. Heiress, divorcée … mother of forensic science? Frances Glessner Lee was not your average 19th century woman. Using the skills that high-society ladies were expected to have -- like sewing, crafting, and knitting -- Frances revolutionized the male-dominated world of crime scene investigation. Her most celebrated contribution: 19 intricate dioramas depicting violent murder scenes. In this episode of Sidedoor, we'll explore Frances's morbid obsession, and discover why the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery chose to put them on display.

Murder scenes are often messy, but they hold a wealth of evi­dence in the form of blood spatter, bullets and bodies. Forensic investigators gather all of this evidence, but where do they start their search? The current system used for gathering physical evidence from crime scenes was created in a unique way, and developed by a very unique person; Frances Glessner Lee.   Free Audiobook Download: www.audibletrial.com/MCP Website: www.morbidcuriositypodcast.com Twitter: @Morbidpodcast Facebook: /morbidcuriositypodcast Instagram: @morbidcuriositypodcast

Amanda Lai of the University of Rochester presents "Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Deaths: A 3D Modeling Study of an Historical Forensic Artifact" during Five Minutes of Fame at the 2016 NMC Summer Conference. University of Rochester has been using data collected to create virtual reconstructions of Frances Glessner Lee’s Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death, dioramas of crime scenes for forensic training. Currently housed in the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore, these 19 dioramas have been used to train numerous crime scene investigators.

Many forensic investigation standards of today have roots in the work of a Chicago heiress who was more interested in crime scenes than high society. Her most notable contribution to the field came in the form of tiny homicide dioramas. Read the show notes here. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers
