The wonderful @MariaMMclennan & colleagues examine jewelry etc found on the bodies of those who died making perilous journeys to #Europe in search of a better life. Truly humbling. Listen to 'The Forensic Jeweller' on @BBCSounds🎧👇🏽 bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

@HeatherCallaway @ForensicJewelry Not sure about job 'envy' - just heard her doc on @BBCSounds. Humbling & heartbreaking to hear how she/colleagues use jewelry on dead migrants to tell their stories. I couldn't do it. Was hard not to bawl all over my laptop at the cruelty of a world that makes such jobs necessary

Am in awe of the incredible @MariaMMaclennan (@ForensicJewelry) & her #Greek colleagues. They use jewelry etc found on the bodies of those who died trying to reach #Europe to tell their stories. A tragic but vital service. Truly humbling. Listen🎧 bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
