Dr. LEE GOFF EN EL SANJO FORENSIC ENTOMOLOGIST CHARLA EN INGLES DEL REFERENTE PARA EL PERSONAJE DE GRISSOM GRISSOM (C.S.I.) Dr. LEE GOFF The CSI connection A forensic entomologist, in the same line of work as the CSI series character Gil Grissom, Dr. Goff serves as a consultant to the CSI shows and other crime investigation dramas. Entomology, the study of insects, would seem to lead to a quiet, uneventful academic career. Early on, Dr. Goff became an authority on chiggers. But in the midst of chigger studies, Dr. Goff also happened upon a new and a bit more exciting career specialty at the time that it was being created: Forensic entomology, the study of insect evidence at crime scenes. As an early pioneer in this field ( this group of pioneering forensic entomologists describes themselves as "the dirty dozen,") Goff has made significant contributions both in terms of research and in investigative work on cases. Time of death and other aspects of a crime can often be determined by insect evidence. Insects are drawn to decomposing remains, and evidence that may help solve a mystery can be found by reading the clues in the insect's life cycle. Dr. Goff has participated in many fascinating and valuable discoveries. One such discovery is that evidence of drug use by the victim can be found, sometimes years later, by analyzing the empty pupal cases left behind by insects at the scene. The CSI script writers have used several of the cases described in Dr. Goff's book, "A Fly for the Prosecution," (Harvard Books) as plotlines for shows, and Goff has been an advisor for additional fictional stories concocted just for the shows.
