Program
The Dana Foundation supports the NAS workshop series to guide development of materials that help judges consider scientific evidence. Outcomes include designing educational materials to improve judges’ use and consideration of science in managing cases involving scientific and technological evidence worldwide. The workshops contribute to global efforts, based on US and UK initiatives, that equip judges to engage with experts on issues in dispute such as genetics, neuroforensics, and disease causation.
The National Academy of Sciences is a private, not-for-profit society of distinguished scholars providing independent, objective advice to the nation on matters related to science and technology.
