Innovation in the 'Burg Podcast: Forensic Science or Fauxrensic Science?

On this episode of Innovation in the 'Burg, Alison is joined by expert Rob O'Brien, forensic biology section lead at the National Forensic Science Technology Center. O'Brien talks DNA and busting CSI myths with Alison and community member Cesar Morales, senior program manager of CyberOps Laboratory at SRI International. They talk innovation in the forensic science space - and the improvements still to come on the collection side; why DNA testing takes so long; and what NFSTC does both in Tampa Bay and nationally.
