This is a work in progress. The aim is to gather together 250 Greatest Forensic Scientists of all time. It is almost certain that there would be glaring omissions. While I have taken every effort to check the facts, in some cases the facts may be incomplete/wrong. Readers may want to improve/modify this table, by sending me more names. All contributions will be added with due acknowledgments. In case you do have a name which you do not find here, please Email me. You may want to send me pictures/photographs/short biographies of the scientists already appearing here, which too will be added with due acknowledgments. Please mail me by clicking here.
