From a fragment of skull in a washing machine to a finger bone
found by a dog walker, the forensic anthropologist Prof Dame Sue
Black has helped solve many strange and mysterious cases. This
year, she will be giving the Royal Institution Christmas lectures,
Britain’s most prestigious public science lectures. In them, she’ll
be investigating the secret clues hidden in our bodies and how the
scientific detective process can be used to identify the living and
the dead. Nicola Davis sat down with Black to discuss the lectures,
her most memorable cases, and why she didn’t want her daughters to
get braces. Madeleine Finlay hears from them both in this Christmas
special of Science Weekly. Help support our independent journalism
