#NationalForensicScienceWeek
Catching the end of #NationalForensicScienceWeek by shedding light on our work the general public often doesn’t see. Shout-out to colleagues throughout the forensic sciences who put in an unimaginable amount of mental work and endure psychological trauma to get the job done.

Our 2024 report on the use of error-prone colorimetric #FieldDrugTests found that these tests are used in more than 773,000 arrests each year, and that 30,000 people are arrested each year based on false positives.

Advances in forensic science are essential to a more fair and accurate criminal legal system. As we add new tools, we must also revisit the use of outdated & error-prone methods. Countless Americans are still incarcerated based on convictions rooted in faulty methods. #NationalForensicScienceWeek
