So apparently I’m the first official woman orator @uniofleicester graduations! I’m lucky enough to give the oration for the rather incredible Lord Simon Woolley, whose achievements include setting up Operation Black Vote.

Did you know? The pattern of veins in our hands differs so much from person to person, some of those veins don't even have a name. Huge thanks to Ricki Boswell-Challand from @LancasterUni for giving us *checks notes* a hand 🙄 #XmasLectures

Getting the most reliable memories from eyewitnesses doesn't look like what we often see on crime shows. Huge thanks to Charlie Frowd from @UCLan for showing us this leading-edge technique to produce images of suspects! #XmasLectures

There are around 206 bones in the human body. During the #XmasLectures with Sue Black, we'll learn all about what our skeleton can reveal to forensics investigators. If you really cannot wait, here are four quick-fire facts about cool bones!
