In this week's episode, Ashley highlights the women whose groundbreaking work changed the way we understand victims, criminals, and forensic evidence. At the center of the episode is Ann Burgess, the forensic nurse whose research on rape trauma and violent offenders helped shape modern criminal profiling and transform the FBI's approach to investigating serial killers. Ashley also explores the contributions of other trailblazing women in forensic science, including the creators and innovators behind the rape kit, homicide investigation training tools, advanced DNA profiling, forensic anthropology, hand-vein identification, and more. Their work helped bring science, structure, and compassion into criminal investigations, giving victims a stronger voice and investigators better tools to pursue justice.Resources:1. https://www.forensicmag.com/3594-All-News/623997-New-Book-Details-Forensic-Nurse-s-Role-in-High-profile-Trials/2. https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/sites/bc-magazine/bc-magazine-summer-2019-issue/features/mastermind.html3. https://www.biography.com/movies-tv/a61488077/ann-burgess-criminology-expert4. https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/07/meet-the-woman-whose-research-helped-the-fbi-catch-notorious-serial-killers/5. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Burgess6. https://streetsmartsafety.org/ann-burgess-criminal-profiling/7. https://press.hulu.com/shows/mastermind-to-think-like-a-killer/8. https://www.hulu.com/series/c6d221be-cfc3-49a7-8b11-159629cb82879. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances_Glessner_Lee10. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sue_Black,_Baroness_Black_of_Strome11. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marty_Goddard12. https://www.wittenberg.edu/news/03-10-20/joye-carter-7913. https://fosterfreeman.com/women-in-forensics/14. https://www.amazon.com/Killer-Design-Murderers-Mindhunters-Decipher/dp/0306924862Please like, follow, and share this podcast - we're on all of the platforms!

Professor Sue Black started the UK's first online network for women in tech, BSC Women in 1998. She also led the social media campaign that saved World War Two codebreaking centre Bletchley Park and started TechUP Women, a course that retrains women from underserved groups into tech careers.
Professor Lady Sue Black is one of the world's leading forensic scientists. Police forces, the Foreign Office and the UN have called upon her evidence in countless high-profile investigations. She is currently President of St. John's College, Oxford, and in 2021 entered the House of Lords as a cross-bench peer. She has penned numerous books, including the Saltire Prize winning ‘All That Remains: A Life in Death' and her latest book, ‘Written in Bone: hidden stories in what we leave behind'. In 2024, Professor Lady Black was also appointed to the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle – the highest honour in Scotland. In this episode of Re-Enchanting, Justin and Belle speak to Sue about her first time working on a dead body, the stories that our bodies tell after death, her work in the wake of the Kosovo war and the 2004 tsunami, and - ultimately - how our reluctance to look death in the eye is profoundly hurting us. There's more to life than the world we can see. Re-Enchanting is a podcast from Seen & Unseen recorded at Lambeth Palace Library, the home of the Centre for Cultural Witness.

While celebrities can sometimes pull it off, it can be almost impossible for regular folks to get a table at a busy restaurant without a reservation. This episode begins by offering some advice that can help. It may not always work, but it doesn't hurt to try. Source: Frank Luntz author of Words That Work (https://amzn.to/37Ay5A8) You probably know someone whose family seems genuinely happy. And then there are families that seem less happy and have lots of conflict. What do happy families do to create that sense of happiness? That's what Bruce Feiler is here to reveal. Bruce is author of the book, The Secrets of Happy Families: Improve Your Mornings, Tell Your Family History, Fight Smarter, Go Out and Play, and Much More (https://amzn.to/3xH113T). He has some simple yet powerful ways to help any family get along and be happy. If you believe movies and televisions shows about crime, it seems an autopsy can reveal a wealth of information to help solve a murder. Is that true in real life? Does forensic science really allow the dead to speak from beyond the grave and reveal clues about how a person died? Forensic anthropologist Sue Black has some firsthand knowledge to share on the topic. Sue is author of the book, All That Remains: A Renowned Forensic Scientist on Death, Mortality, and Solving Crimes (https://amzn.to/3lWzyJg) . She joins me to sort out truth from fiction and she reveals some of the fascinating advances in forensic science. Could people with big heads really be smarter?

Professor Lady Sue Black is one of the world's leading forensic scientists. She says “I have never been spooked by the dead. It is the living who terrify me. The dead are much more predictable and co-operative.” Her painstaking work and expertise mean she can work out how people have met their end, and police forces, the Foreign Office and the UN have called on her evidence in countless high profile investigations. She was the lead forensic anthropologist to the British forensic team during the international war crimes investigations in Kosovo and the Thai Tsunami Victim Identification Operation. Back in the UK she provided evidence that helped prosecute Scotland's biggest paedophile ring. She is currently the President of St John's College, Oxford, and in 2021 she entered the House of Lords as a crossbench peer. She has just been appointed to the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle, the highest honour in Scotland.

Słyszeliście kiedyś o “trupiej farmie”? Nazwa jest tak malownicza, że trudno jej nie zapamiętać, więc wiele osób ma świadomość istnienia takiego miejsca. Pomysł jest w sumie prosty, choć nadal szokuje. Bierzemy ludzkie zwłoki i układamy je w różnych miejscach, głównie pod otwartym niebem. Albo zalewamy betonem bądź też zamykamy w bagażniku samochodowym, topimy w sadzawce, zawijamy w plastikowe worki... To znaczy nie my, tylko naukowcy. I robią to wszystko, co jest w stanie wymyślić morderca, aby pozbyć się ciała ofiary. A potem patrzą i starannie dokumentują to, co się dzieje. W tym odcinku opowiadamy historię pierwszej trupiej farmy oraz jej twórcy.

Kate talks to Emma about the issues examined in the film and working with her daughter. This year the Royal Institute Christmas Lectures will be given by Professor Dame Sue Black; one of the world's leading forensic investigators. She is currently the President of St Johns College Oxford, but her previous achievements include heading the British Forensic Team in Kosovo, identifying victims from the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami, and convicting Scotland's largest paedophile ring. In the lectures she will share the real-life scientific detective process that she uses to identify both the dead and the living. She tells Emma Barnett how she will be separating crime fiction from fact using examples from her own casebook. Conservative MP Chloe Smith is one of a number of parliamentarians who have already announced they won't be standing at the next General Election in two years time. Aged only 40 she has served in a range of ministerial positions including her last post when she made it to the cabinet as Secretary of State for Work and Pensions albeit for only seven weeks during Liz Truss's brief tenure as Prime Minister. What have been her main achievements? and what does she plan to do with her life after leaving the commons? The work of the British artist, the late Beryl Cook, has been given a new lease of life in a gallery in New York. The exhibition, entitled, Beryl Cook Takes New York, is the first ever exhibition of her work abroad. Cook's colourful pictures documented ordinary people in their every day surroundings and she was known for her robust women and men, all seemingly having a fantastic time. Celebrities such as Whoopi Goldberg and Yoko Ono own her work. Emma speaks to Beryl's daughter in law, Teresa Cook and Rachel Campbell-Johnston about her enduring appeal.

War crimes. Violations of international law, such as the targeted killing of civilians, which could lead to the prosecution of those responsible. As the horrors of conflict continue in Ukraine, claims of war crime are increasing. Proving a crime has been committed in these circumstances is a long process and can be incredibly tough. But science can provide vital evidence, specifically archaeology and anthropology. These are fields often associated with historical findings or learning about ancient life. But when applied within forensics, they can help solve crime. Through the use of context,... Like this podcast? Please help us by supporting the Naked Scientists
This episode is about forensic anthropology. Please be aware that due to the nature of the topic, this talk includes discussions of violence, child sexual abuse, death by suicide and mass-fatality events, which some listeners may find disturbing. This month, we hear from Sue Black, a forensic anthropologist who has led teams across the world to identify the victims and perpetrators of various conflicts and cases. Sue shares examples of her breakthrough work on real-life events, and examines how our life's history is written into our anatomy. The talk was recorded from our theatre at the Royal Institution on 22 February, 2019.

In this conversation I connected with Dr Sue Black who is now a Prof of Computer Science at Durham. She is perhaps best known for her instrumental role in helping to save Bletchley Park, the once the top-secret home of the World War Two Codebreakers, including Alan Turing and 1,000's others, half of whom were women, that allegedly shortened WW2 by 2-3 years and saved over 20 million lives. With bright red hair and relentless enthusiasm, she is a tireless campaigner for the role tech can play in creating positive social change - in particular for women and mums in the tech sector. She left school at 16, was in women's refuge at 25 with 3 small children, went back to education at 26 got degree in computing in 1993, and PhD in software engineering in 2001 and is now one of the most influential people in computer science in the UK and even appeared on the legendary BBC radio programme Desert Island Discs earlier this year too! So I started out by asking her about social mobility through education and asked "are you the exception that proves the rule"? https://sueblack.co.uk/ https://bletchleypark.org.uk/ https://techupwomen.org/ https://cruciblealumni.com/crucibleirl/ https://techmums.co/ https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b3b4m5 https://www.weareliminal.co

Why is the relationship between women and tech so complicated? With women's contributions to tech often hidden from history, girls are still less likely to choose a career in tech than their male counterparts. And, as users, the experience of tech - especially social media - is often much more complicated for women than it is for men. Our guest this week is Professor Sue Black OBE whose extraordinary contribution to technology, and commitment to empowering women to feel confident with it, propelled her astonishing career path out of poverty, to become one of the most influential women in tech in the UK, saving the Bletchley Park home of the WWII code breakers (the majority of them women), along the way.More about Sue here on her website https://sueblack.co.uk/ and her Twitter feed https://twitter.com/Dr_Black and her book 'Saving Bletchley Park' https://www.amazon.co.uk/Saving-Bletchley-Park-socialmedia-codebreakers/dp/1908717920For more about Tanya https://www.tanyagoodin.com and https://www.twitter.com/tanyagoodinTanya's two books 'Off: Your Digital Detox for a Better Life' is on Amazon: https://getBook.at/OFF And 'Stop Staring at Screens' is on Amazon too: https://getBook.at/STOPSTARINGFor more about Time To Log Off visit the website https://www.itstimetologoff.com and social profiles:Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/timetologoff Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timetologoff Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/timetologoffnow See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Forensic anthropologist professor Sue Black began her career with a Saturday job working in a butcher's shop. At the time she didn't realise that this would be the start of a lifelong fascination with anatomy. Her job has taken her to some extreme and challenging locations to identify human bodies, such as Kosovo, where she uncovered evidence used in the UN's War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague. Back home, Sue has been integral in solving many high-profile criminal cases, including cracking Scotland's biggest paedophile ring in 2009. In The Life Scientific, Jim al-Khalili asks how she deals with the emotional pressures of the job, and why she is so fascinated by the inner workings of the human body. In her spare time, Sue Black also advises crime fiction authors like Val McDermid, providing inspiration for new plotlines and characters. In return, Val and a group of writers have offered to help with Sue's latest challenge - fundraising for a mortuary. This facility will use new techniques to embalm bodies and promises to revolutionise the way surgeons are trained. (Photo: Sue Black, BBC copyright)
