  • Mary Bush on Bitemark Evidence
    10/29/24
    Obsessed with true crime shows as a teen, Mary Bush naturally gravitated toward forensics as a young professor in the School of Dental Medicine. Today, she is widely acclaimed for her efforts to banish bitemark evidence from the courtroom. She has won numerous research awards, served as an expert witness for high-profile murder cases and testified before Congress. Her research tools, once viciously mocked by prosecutors, are currently on display at the Smithsonian Institution. In this episode, Bush talks to host Laurie Kaiser about the fascinating life of a forensic dentist, which in her case has included writing crime novels and appearing on Netflix’s “Unsolved Mysteries.”

Now a renowned expert, Grijalva has studied the complicated personality trait from every angle. In this episode, she tells us why narcissism isn’t all bad, why it’s more common in men and what to do if you have a narcissistic boss.
  • Vincent Lynch on Animal Genes and Human Health

    A childhood fascination with the fish and crabs in the river near his home led Vincent Lynch to a career as an evolutionary biologist, studying the genetic history of various species to better understand human health. In this episode, he explains why human pregnancy is a mystery, why elephants don’t get cancer and why bringing the woolly mammoth back to life is a terrible idea.
