Description of the session:
In January 2023, science journalists breathlessly reported a newly published “discovery” that fingerprints were not, in fact, unique. This talk explains why this claimed discovery was not only incorrect but also focused on the wrong question about the usefulness of fingerprint identification and other “feature-comparison” forensic techniques.
