Join Barts Pathology Museum for
a very special evening with bestselling author and forensic anthropologist
Kathy Reichs who will be appearing at Barts Pathology Museum on 16th
September 2014! This exclusive evening is Kathy’s first stop on her UK tour to
mark publication of her new novel Bones
Never Lie. She will be giving a fascinating illustrated talk on
forensic anthropology and how forensics has influenced her writing
career.
From teaching FBI agents how to
detect and recover human remains, to separating and identifying commingled body
parts in her Montreal lab, as a forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs has
brought her own dramatic work experience to her mesmerising thrillers. For
years she consulted to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in North
Carolina, and continues to do so for the Laboratoire de Sciences Judiciaires et
de Médecine Légale for the province of Québec. Dr. Reichs has travelled to
Rwanda to testify at the UN Tribunal on Genocide, and helped exhume a mass
grave in Guatemala. As part of her work at JPAC (Formerly CILHI) she aided in
the identification of war dead from World War II, Korea, and Southeast Asia.
Dr. Reichs also assisted with identifying remains found at ground zero of the
World Trade Center following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Dr. Reichs is one of only
eighty-two forensic anthropologists ever certified by the American Board of
Forensic Anthropology. She served on the Board of Directors and as Vice
President of both the American Academy of Forensic Sciences and the American
Board of Forensic Anthropology, and is currently a member of the National
Police Services Advisory Council in Canada. She is a Professor in the
Department of Anthropology at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte. A
native of Chicago, she now divides her time between Charlotte, NC and Montreal,
Québec.
