A presentation by Palle Villesen, Ph.D. who is a researcher at the Centre for Bioinformatics and at the Institute for Clinical Medicine at Aarhus University, on how they're systematically applying data science and machine learning techniques to forensic medicine.

The presentation is going to be very cool indeed. More TBD.
