As part of the FORS 200 - Forensic Seminar guest lecture series, Anthropologists Gregory Fox and Derek Benedix gave a talk outlining their work with the Joint POW-MIA Accounting Command (JPAC).
These scientists travel to exotic locales all over the world where they work with teams of military personnel to track down, excavate and identify the remains of American Military Personnel.
Their lecture provided an overview of what Forensic Anthropologists do and included slides of several digs where human remains were found.
JPAC is currently renovating some laboratory space at Offutt Air Force Base near Omaha to house a new base of operations.
