Houston Museum of Natural Science AMA #11: Chat now with Professor Sandra Guerra Thompson (Director of the Criminal Justice Institute at the University of Houston Law Center)

Professor Sandra Guerra Thompson, director of the Criminal Justice Institute at the University of Houston Law Center is online now for an AMA with r/Houston.

She’s here and ready to field questions about the pioneering work being done at the Houston Forensic Science Center. The lab has had a hand in exonerating the wrongfully-convicted, helping police investigators get criminals off the street, and bringing justice to victims from across the Houston area.

Professor Thompson will be back at HMNS on Tuesday, Feb. 11, for a special evening lecture explaining how our hometown lab has transformed to be the only forensic laboratory in the world where analysts can go to court armed with the statistical data to prove the scientific validity of the analyses they perform.
