Just the Soul of the Profession_Forensic Advancement_076

The Forensic Advancement season of Just Science will focus on many areas that challenge forensic leadership within the community. The majority of these interviews were recorded at the 2018 ASCLD Annual Symposium in Atlanta, Georgia. If you have an interesting case and would like to be a guest on our next season, recorded at the 2019 ASCLD symposium, please visit our podcast landing page at ForensicCOE.ORG/just-science-podcast. In episode one of the forensic advancement season, Just Science interviews John Collins an instructor and consultant from Critical Victories, and Jay Henry, laboratory director at the Utah Department of public safety. Listen along as our guests discuss how crime labs can create environments that are more appealing to the younger generation of professionals and what challenges directors are having with retention. Stay tuned to find out about the delicate balance of casework completion and retention strategies. This season is funded by the National Institute of Justice’s Forensic Technology Center of Excellence.
