With colleague Marcel Matley, Jacqueline co-presented “The Two Pillars of Individuality and Identifiability in Handwriting,” showing how to satisfy the standard for identification by explaining the scientific tie between the writer and the written. Filmed before a live audience at the 2008 NADE Conference in Austin, TX, this presentation was approved for three semester-credit hours at East Tennessee State University.
