Truth has many aspects

In the Stuart Kind Memorial lecture of 2007 John De Haan coined the phrase ‘bridge generation’ to describe forensic scientists who started their careers in the 70s and early 80s under the tutelage of the ‘modern pioneers’ who started in the 40s, 50s and 60s. Stuart Kind was one of those ‘modern pioneers’. Born in 1925 he started his career in forensic science in 1952 in a temporary post as a biologist at the then Home Office North Eastern Region Forensic Science Laboratory in Wakefield. He went on to complete more than 30 years service retiring in 1983 from the Home Office Forensic Science Service.
