Ep. 40 No Guns and Badges, Just Swabs and Microscopes: Crime Scene Investigation and DNA Analysis with Kathleen Corrado

When we say CSI do you think of D.B. Russell, Horatio Caine, or Mac Taylor? People who go to crime scenes and are scientists and cops rolled into one? Well, this week we spoke with Kathleen Corrado who is a professor of Forensic Science at Syracuse University. Kathy started her career as a CSI in Texas before becoming a professor. She spills all the beans on what it is actually like to be a CSI. She also talks about whether the CSI effect is real and she walks us through DNA evidence collection and analysis. Jenn and Jose were truly outside of their domain in this one!!

Kathy has been published in journals such as Cell and Journal of Cell Biology.
