OFFICIAL QUESTION:

1. What is this?

2. Why does it matter in forensic science?

3. Give me some broad highlights about it.

Our Geek of the Week answered:

This is the sym­bol for The Inter­na­tional Bureau of Weights and Mea­sures or BIPM (from it’s French name). It helps to ensure uni­for­mity of Inter­na­tional Sys­tem of Unit weights and mea­sures around the world. It does so through a series of con­sul­ta­tive com­mit­tees, whose mem­bers are the national metrol­ogy lab­o­ra­to­ries of the Convention’s mem­ber states, and through its own lab­o­ra­tory work.

The BIPM car­ries out measurement-related research. It takes part in and orga­nizes inter­na­tional com­par­isons of national mea­sure­ment stan­dards and per­forms cal­i­bra­tions for mem­ber states.

The BIPM has an impor­tant role in main­tain­ing accu­rate world­wide time of day. It com­bines, ana­lyzes, and aver­ages the offi­cial atomic time stan­dards of mem­ber nations around the world to cre­ate a sin­gle, offi­cial Coör­di­nated Uni­ver­sal Time (UTC).

[BLOGGER’S NOTE: Great answer. Thanks for playing.]
