Forensic DNA is supposed to be the end all be all when it comes to solving crime, so why are there so many false convictions when it comes to using DNA evidence? Today, Senior Producer Teresa Carey talks to Dr. Gregory Hampikian about forensic DNA, fingerprints, AI, and the limitations of scientific evidence in criminal investigations. Host, Dr. Samantha Yammine also explores the Effort Paradox (aka why doing things that are hard can feel good) and how using RICE (that’s rest, ice, compression, and elevation) for injuries is an outdated method for healing.
Don’t forget that season two of Eye of the Storm premieres July 27th on Discovery and HBO Max.
