Simone feels more comfortable in the safety of an academic lab reconstructing ancient habitats, but her unique skills and lively personality could be exactly what the team needs.

What did Genesis say about her new role?
On her new role, Genesis said: “Simone Tyler is a zealous and meticulous ecologist who is making a massive jump from museum to the mortuary.
“It’s been a lovely surprise to film a project during such a testing time, with so much to learn and sink my teeth into.
“It’s really fulfilling to learn a new way of thinking and seeing through the eyes of Simone – as she learns, I learn.
“The science of forensics is very intricate work and it’s been fun to play alongside the Silent Witness team. Watch this space!”
