Upcoming Events
Join us for our May Meeting featuring Alexa Tanen
Alexa is a forensic anthropologist turned editor who knows a thing or two about how authors incorrectly break bones and dispose of bodies. She will perform a forensic fact-check on bone-chilling fiction—an autopsy, if you will—preparing you to create stories with a forensic level of accuracy.
In this program, you'll discover:
-
Bone Basics (what scientists can determine about an unidentified person by their bones).
-
CSI: Etiquette (what different people are doing at a crime scene).
-
Fight Club (general facts about bone breakage and what causes it).
