The Real CSI: More Than Just What You See on TV - Cheltenham

The Real CSI: More Than Just What You See on TV 🕵️‍♂️🧬

A Tapped In Talk with Dave Moore

A lecture in a pub with a nice cold beverage… what more could you want? 🍻 We’re swapping lab coats for bar stools and TV clichés for the real science behind crime-scene investigation.

TV shows make CSI look fast, flashy, and foolproof — but real forensic science is far more nuanced, methodical, and fascinating. So what actually happens once the cameras stop rolling?

Join us for an engaging, accessible deep dive into the real world of CSI, where tiny details matter, evidence isn’t always clear-cut, and conclusions take time. From fingerprints and fibres to DNA and bloodstain patterns, you’ll discover how investigators piece together the truth — and why reality is often very different from what you see on screen.

Expect myths busted, techniques explained, and plenty of “oh wow” moments as we unpack how forensic science really works in the pursuit of justice. 🔍✨

Perfect for true-crime fans, science lovers, or anyone who’s ever shouted “that’s not how it works!” at the TV.
