Episode 13: Microbial Detectives - Unraveling Bacterial Origins

In this episode, Jamie Crill discusses his research focus of microbial forensics, particularly the origins of bacteria and yeast. Join us as we engage discussion about how to use microorganisms to determine if a crime was a biological one, or if these microbes can clarify when and where a person has been recently. Additionally, Dr. Crill will discuss what the current methods are for determination, and what it's like to teach these skills to graduate students.
