Underground Science Society | Forensic Pathology: this isn’t C.S.I.

Come on down to the Sugar Maple to hear Dr. Jessica Lelinski discuss the basics of the Medical Examiner/Coroner (ME/C) system in Wisconsin, which deaths are investigated by ME/C offices, and what autopsies can and cannot tell us – it’s not as glamorous as what they show on TV but still pretty cool!!

Jessica Lelinski is a forensic pathologist who has worked as an Assistant Medical Examiner at the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office since 2015. She has spent her entire life in the city and suburbs of Milwaukee, apart from one year in Minneapolis during her final year of training. She went to medical school with plans to become a pediatrician, but along the way found that autopsies aren’t as scary as they first seemed and that figuring out why people died can be fascinating.

Tell your family!! Tell your friends!! Hope to see you there!!
