Forensic expert contributes to Tsunami programme

Sue Black OBE, Professor of Anatomy and Forensic Anthropology at University of Dundee, is one of the contributors to a BBC Radio Scotland programme, "After The Wave", which is to be broadcast on Tuesday April 5.

Professor Black travelled to Thailand after she was approached by Houston-based organisation Kenyon International Emergency Services to make up a team of experts from America, Australia, Britain and Singapore to help with the enormous task of identifying the thousands of dead bodies left by the tsunami.

On the Radio Scotland programme Prof Black details some of the experiences she and other volunteers went through in the course of their grim duties.

The programme airs on BBC Radio Scotland at 11.30 am on Tuesday April 5, and is repeated at 7.30 pm on Wednesday April 6.
