Professor Dame Sue Black is a leading forensic anthropologist and Pro-Vice Chancellor for Engagement at Lancaster University. She confronts death every day. As a professor of anatomy and forensic anthropology, she focuses on mortal remains in her lab, at burial sites, at scenes of violence, murder and criminal dismemberment, and when investigating mass fatalities due to war, accident or natural disaster. In her best-selling book All That Remains she reveals the many faces of death she has come to know, using key cases to explore how forensic science has developed, and examining what her life and work has taught her. Part memoir, part science, part meditation on death, her book is compassionate, surprisingly funny, and it will make you think about death in a new light. 5x15 brings together five outstanding individuals to tell of their lives, passions and inspirations.
