UW research ‘angels’ help find and identify American MIAs

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Tens of thousands of American service members never returned home.

People who pulled on American uniforms, raised their right hand to support and defend the Constitution before dying in foreign lands and waters far from their homes, and worried families who never got the chance to bury their loved ones.

But the missing in action have not been forgotten. Not by a nation that sent them to war and not by a dedicated group of volunteers and researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Is an adversarial justice system compatible with good science?

The Washington Post

Quoted: Keith A. Findley, Center for Integrity in Forensic Science, University of Wisconsin Law School: I would urge some caution on the idea of court-appointed experts. While independent, court-appointed experts can sometimes be helpful to minimize the bias inherent in the adversarial process, it is dangerous to think that a court-appointed expert or experts will necessarily reflect true neutrality or truth in science.
