Conference IAFM Feb 2010

The national conference of IAFM was attended by about 330 delegates from all over the country.It was quite an event!! Some of the people I happened to meet after 10 years and some after 15 years. It was fun to catch up with all that has been happening in the field lately, all over the country. There were guest lectures and presentations from some of the big names in Forensic. That was a treat! We took the opportunity to discuss with them all that we thought needed expert appraisal and another outlook. Forensic Medicine is a relatively small community and so most of the people are close wnd well known to each other and bond well too. It was particularly nice to meet the post graduation students presenting their papers. The young feel very important making their presentation while one can see their teachers beaming with pride when they do well. This tradition of educating, passing information and experience and encouraging the youngsters to be academically oriented could be seen all around. There were lot of thoughts and ideas to grasp and appreciate and some of the memories will linger on for a long time to come.
