Join us on Thursday, April 22nd at 7:00 PM for a presentation by Professor Shari Forbes, the Director of the UQTR facility for Research in Experimental and Social Thanatology (REST) in Bécancour; the first “body farm” to open in Canada.

A body farm is a research facility where forensic scientists can study how bodies decompose in natural environments. Dr. Forbes's research assists police canine units to improve their training protocols for cadaver-detection dogs, and her expertise is regularly requested to assist police with locating and recovering buried or concealed evidence, including human remains, drugs, weapons, and currency.
