	Intentional Language in Forensic DNA Testimony & Reporting The live event will take place on Thursday, May 4, 11:00 AM-Noon CT. Register now to reserve your seat! This webinar is a practical training tool for criminal justice training partners and DNA analysts who intend to provide clear and accurate descriptions of DNA results in forensic testimony and reports. This event will include real-life examples of good reporting practices and poor testimony practices from transcripts with immediate tips on how to avoid making common mistakes.
	Visual Diagnostics for Algorithmic Cartridge Case Comparisons Automatic cartridge case comparison algorithms can be used to measure the similarity between two fired cartridge cases. However, many of these algorithms are difficult to interpret, understand, and audit. We introduce a suite of visual diagnostic tools that are useful for understanding the behavior of automatic comparison algorithms and introduce a novel algorithm that returns a probability that two cartridge cases originated from the same firearm. The live event will take place on Wednesday, March 29, 11:00 AM-Noon CT. Register now to reserve your seat!
	Judging Firearms Evidence This webinar is on-demand and available immediately. While firearms comparison evidence is commonly used in criminal cases, we have seen a recent and growing resurgence of judicial skepticism of firearms comparison evidence. These recent rulings, responding to scientific critiques, followed, however, many decades of near-universal acceptance of the evidence. We analyze the path of judicial rulings in this important area of forensic evidence.
	Tutorial on Likelihood Ratios with Applications in Digital Forensics This webinar is on-demand and available immediately. To date, digital forensics research has largely focused on extracting and reconstructing information from devices and the cloud.
	Ensemble SLRs for Forensic Evidence Comparison This webinar is on-demand and available immediately. To strengthen the statistical foundations of forensic evidence interpretation, likelihood ratios and Bayes factors are advocated to quantify the value of evidence.
	Blind Testing in Firearms Examination: Preliminary Results, Benefits, Limitations, and Future Directions This webinar is on-demand and available immediately. Open proficiency tests created by external vendors are used to meet accreditation requirements and demonstrate examiner competence.
	Extracting Case-Specific Data from Validation Studies This webinar is on-demand and available immediately. The legal and scientific communities agree that any forensic method or algorithm should undergo validation testing before it is relied upon in the judicial system to make life-altering decisions.
	Shining a Light on Black Box Studies This webinar is on-demand and available immediately. The American criminal justice system heavily relies on conclusions reached by the forensic science community.
	Modeling and Inventory of Tread Impression System (MANTIS): The development, depoyment and application of an active footwear data collection system This webinar is on-demand and available immediately. This webinar details the development, capabilities and successful deployment of the Modeling And iNventory of Tread Impression System (MANTIS).
	Improving Forensic Decision Making: a Human-Cognitive Perspective This webinar is on-demand and available immediately. Humans play a critical role in forensic decision making. Drawing upon classic cognitive and psychological research.
