Review of forensics talk

When many people hear about a blog relating to science especially chemistry, they seem to run the other direction.  As someone who is going to be involved in the field later in life and writes a blog about this topic,  even I would like to run the other direction before finding some of these new blogs.  One of the most interesting ones that I have found is called Forensics Talk. In this blog it not only talks about issues that would be important to someone in the field but other interesting facts that would relate to someones life.  For example, the latest post on the page relates to social networking.  In a wide array of cases judges have requested to add people as friends on facebook in order to view their profile.  While it may seem harmless there are many lawsuits reguarding the fairness of a judge seeing someone in a light other than that which may be portrayed in the courtroom.  The biggest controversy is that someone can write whatever they want on your wall and you will have  no control over it.  The judge then sees what other people are posting on your wall not what you yourself are saying so can it be used as a valid source of character check?
Other postings are interesting as they relate to real life occurances yet tie in the science aspect so it is very informative yet still very interesting.
Overall i would reccommend this blog for readers not only in the science field!
