Microbial forensics is a science that lets us trace killers and terrorists by the microscopic footprints they leave behind. From the landmark 1994 HIV murder case where viral genetics first convicted a doctor, to the chilling Amerithrax investigation after 9/11.

You'll learn how microbes are rewriting crime solving while we explore true cases, cutting-edge research on skin microbiomes and microbial death clocks, and what the future holds when invisible evidence becomes undeniable.

 

TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE:

  • What skin microbiomes reveal about who touched what and when
  • How microbes can be used to map the timeline of a crime scene
  • Intelligence agencies using "microbial geolocation" to trace where you've been
  • How microbial forensics was used to solve a murder and trace the post 9/11 Anthrax murders
  • The future of turning invisible bacterial clues into courtroom evidence
  • Why microbial forensics could reshape how we solve crime—and even prevent terrorism
