A powerful new tool: a microbial clock, in the quiver of forensic scientists attempting to determine the time of death in cases involving human corpses could be provided by an intriguing study led by the University of Colorado Boulder. The clock is essentially the lock-step succession of bacterial changes that occur postmortem as bodies move through the decay process.
