“The Body Farm” is basically about the techniques behind Forensic detective work. Specifically, the use of bugs (like maggots) to determine the time of a corpse’s death. The article discusses this with the head of the Tennessee University forensic anthropology research facility , a Mr. Bill Bass. This article goes details about how Mr. Bass had to establish his own research facility in that university about two decades ago (from whenever the article was written; sometime in the mid to late 90’s). It talks about how the use of insects, or any forensic science, was not really attached to the idea of solving murders until after the 1980’s. Because of the relatively early amount of time that this has been a practice, there aren’t very many forensic entomologists in the U.S. now. Bass began his career as an anthropologist, but found himself examining bodies quickly. Because of that, he found out that there was no real guide to solving murders (and other problems) using insects. That’s why he decided to open up his facility; to train the next generation of forensic detectives.
