Mara Merlino and Tierra Freeman have had their paper titled Cognitive Theoretical Perspectives in Studies of Forensic Document Examination accepted for presentation at the 65th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, to be held in Washington D.C.

Dr. Merlino and Dr. Freeman are also co-authors on a poster to be presented at the same meeting titled U.S. Questioned Document Examiners: A Nationwide Survey of Background, Education, Training, and Experience (to be presented by Victoria Springer, M.A., and co-authored by those listed above).
