Just Embracing Imperfection in Forensic Science
In episode three of our Resilient Leadership mini season. Just Science sat down with Jody Wolf, Crime Lab Administrator for the Phoenix Police Department, Tim Scanlon, President of Forensic Analysis Consulting and Training LLC, and Mikayla Martin, Forensic Scientist at RTI International, to highlight the impact of human factors on forensic DNA interpretation. Human Factors Research is a discipline that examines concepts like undue influence, employee wellness and human error, which impact the decisions that forensic science practitioners make on a daily basis.
Just Collaboration in Forensic Research
In episode two, of our Resilient Leadership mini Season, Just Science sat down with Henry Maynard to discuss the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors, also known as ASCLD Forensic Research Committee. As researchers work to create better tools and technologies for the forensic science community, it is crucial that they are able to consult with practicing forensic professionals to better understand their needs and experiences.
