A free event series, Simons Foundation Presents aims to create a space for conversations about science and its broader societal and cultural relevance. Each event pairs one of our 200 researchers with special guests to discuss the intersection of their work. Afterwards, we invite everyone in the audience to continue the conversation together over refreshments in a relaxed atmosphere.

DNA and Cold Cases: From Crime Scene to Courtroom
Melissa MourgesProsecutor, Manhattan District Attorney’s Office
Melissa MourgesProsecutor, Manhattan District Attorney’s Office TV shows like CSI give viewers a glimpse of how investigators solve crimes using DNA and other forensic tools, all wrapped up in an hour. What these shows skip over is important: the evolution of DNA technology. DNA completely changed the way law enforcement investigates crime. Now we can prove beyond any doubt whose DNA was left at a crime scene. Highly sensitive technology allows us to develop forensic DNA profiles from vanishingly small samples. A national and international network of DNA databases results in "cold hits" that link previously unknown perpetrators to cases, exonerate the innocent and bring justice to victims.
