Researchers develop new technique to date forensic death based on corpse microorganisms
Scientist at the University of Granada just recently developed a technique of forensics dating base on thermo-microbiology, which will allow to determine more accurately the time of death not under natural conditions or as a consequence of a crime. This technology establishes corresponds between the parameters of micro-organic growth on cadaverous remains and dates the time of death to a high degree of accuracy. According to the leading scientist Isabel Fernandez the purpose of the research work was to bring criminalistic techniques closer to the analysis of the phenomenons caused during the stages of cadaverous decomposition and putrefaction, in order to reach a better time of death estimate. This discovery will hopefully be incorporated into a microbiological indicator to determine an individuals time of death based on this research. This new technique will greatly reduce the present margin of error in estimating time of death.

Thomas, I enjoyed reading your article because I found it to be not only informative but also interesting. The article itself proves that the people in the field of Forensics are working to improve their crime scene techniques -- an action that will significantly pay off in the near future. Also, this research will allow criminalists to have an easier time identifying bodies in the field. Overall, I think your article is very well put together; my only suggestion for the future is to just look over your grammar as there are a few errors on your review. Great job though otherwise!
I thought this article was interesting and I think this new technique will be very helpful in solving crimes in forensic science. Good choice!
I really liked this article because it displays and proves that all fields of research and science are continuously trying to improve their methods. In this article, it explains that the crime scene techniques are specifically trying to be improved. This will allow criminalists to have an easier time identifying bodies, etc. Overall, this article was very well written and organized.
This article was especially interesting because it clearly and adequately describes a technology which obviously has a great deal of forensic significance. It was extremely interesting to hear how this could help the field of forensic science, and it was well described. However, I would have liked to have been told more about the process itself, and how it worked, as well as how widely used it currently it. That being said, this was a well-done summary of a very appropriate and relevant article.
This was a great article because it was brief but really managed to pack a lot of valuable information in there. This article helps us understand that the field of Forensics is improving their ways of working in crime scenes, something that is not only valuable in the real world, but also significant in what he have been learning in class. Overall, this was well organized and a good choice.
You did a really good job with this article with describing what it is used for and its exact purpose in forensic science. Finding the time of death is a very important fact in forensic science especially with crimes such as murder so this could help find out the time of death in a better and less problematic way then before. Good job!
I found this review of the forensics article very interesting and gripping. The information in the review was very well presented and I found that the new technique for Time of Death determination could be very helpful in establishing a timeline for a homocide case. Overall, this review provided an interesting perspective as to how the article was layed out and how it was written. I enjoyed how it was very straight-forward and did not complicate stating the facts. Although it was a very well done review, there were some trivial flaws, but trivial as they were,I feel the need to bring them to your attention. Although the technique in question was made out to be a very effective one, I would have hoped that you would have talked more about how this specific technique works. Also, if you could have included the old method which was used to determining Time of Death, this would have helped make your point more solid. One final detail of the review that I found particularly interesting was that pheremones could be used to determine Time of Death.
This article has a lot to deal with the technology used in the forensic lab which includes a lot of information. in the article you talk a lot about how scientist are trying to enhance there techniques in the lab. i think it is import that the scinetis find new and omproved ways that will make it eay and provied better information on the topic. i would have like to have read more on the different technology there are making to improve but other than that weel done.
