We are the new kids on the block, being only three years old, but our membership is more than 5,000. The vast majority of our members hold doctorates. We publish the Forensic Examiner, which is peer-reviewed, and have our own online computer BBS, ForensicNet (acfedoc@aol.com). We have developed a program for board certification, hold an annual national meeting, the National Academy of Forensic Examiners, and have developed distance education courses in forensics along with a lot of other activities. If any readers of The Scientist would like to receive membership information, they can contact the central administration at the following address. Our telephone number is (417) 881-3818. Our fax number is (417) 881-4702.
