H. Ward Smith a Canadian Leader in the Forensic Sciences

Pages 228-236 | Published online: 22 Nov 2013
 

ABSTRACT

This invited article is a personal appreciation of the life and contributions to forensic science of Dr. H. Ward Smith. Although best known for his work in the development of methods for the analysis of alcohol in body fluids and breath, and as Director of the Centre of Forensic Sciences for the Province of Ontario, he also contributed significantly to the body of knowledge about alcohol and traffic, and the detection of drugs and poisons. Perhaps his most important contribution was his recruitment, training, and encouragement of an entire generation of young forensic scientists in Canada.

RÉSUMÉ

Cet article sous invitation est une appréciation personnelle de la vie et des contributions aux sciences judiciaires du Dr. H. Ward Smith. Bien qu'il soit mieux connu pour son travail dans le développement de méthodes pour l'analyse de l'alcool dans les liquides corporels et l'haleine, en tant que directeur du Centre of Forensic Sciences pour la province de l'Ontario, il a également contribué de façon significative aux connaissances sur l'alcool et le trafic, ainsi qu'à la détection des drogues et poisons. Sa contribution la plus importante est probablement le recrutement, la formation et l'encouragement de toute une génération de jeunes scientifiques judiciaires au Canada.
