Two forensic scientists from the Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s Laboratory in Laramie have been named to a special federal task force for wildlife forensics.

The Game and Fish Laboratory uses forensics to help solve wildlife violations, tooth aging in wildlife management and fisheries disease monitoring and research.

Kim Frazier and Tasha Bauman of Laramie will serve on the Wildlife Forensics Subcommittee for the Federal Task Force on the Organization of Scientific Area Committees.

Bauman and Frazier have been working on standards and guidelines for wildlife forensics under the auspices of the Society for Wildlife Forensic Science and the Scientific Working Group for Wildlife Forensic Sciences for four years. These documents will be a starting point for the new task force.

Frazier is a certified wildlife forensic scientist and is the wildlife forensics program manager for the Game and Fish laboratory. She has 15 years forensic experience with the department. She was also one of the founding members of the Scientific Working Group for Wildlife Forensics. Bauman, a forensic analyst at the Laboratory, has been with the Game and Fish Laboratory since 2006 where she served as tooth aging coordinator before beginning her career in wildlife forensics. She was also a founding member of the Society for Wildlife Forensic Science and still holds a board position.
