Crime, Pollen, and People

Most of us like to watch police shows, especially where the clever scientist helps unveil the crime.

Here is an intriguing story, both scientific an personal. Dr Lynne Milne played a key role in bringing a murder case to justice using the evidence provided by pollen. This pollen tells the tale of a journey of a crime from house to bushland.

Dr Milne reveals not just the scientific savvy needed to unravel such a case, but also close personal contact with a side of humanity most of us never see.

Dr Milne is author of A Grain of Truth (Reed New Holland 2005).

Also with us in this show is (almost Dr) Suzette Searle, wattle expertise and her empathy for this story make her an ideal companion.
