Epilogue:

In my undergrad stats class, the extra credit question on the final exam was: 'What is my name?' 🧑🏻‍🏫🤔

I'm pleased to share the full results below -- arranged first by frequency and then by ridiculousness...

This new National Institute of Standards and Technology report on human factors in forensic DNA interpretation is an absolute banger! 🧬🔥

It includes loads of good info about cognitive bias and how to curtail it (e.g., LSU-E, CIM, etc.)🧠🛡️

Read the full report here: nist.gov/programs-proje…

Good stuff from Nate Freed Wessler on how facial recognition 'leads' can prompt tunnel vision and costly mistakes 🙈

🚨 New paper alert...

Mohammed Almazrouei, PhD, Ruth Morgan, and Ifat Levy and I explain how work-related stress may affect forensic experts' performance -- an important but understudied topic 👩🏽‍🔬😬

👨🏻‍🍳 Recipe for disaster:
- An imperfect technology
- (with the veneer of objectivity
- and no regulations on its use)
- used by imperfect humans
- doing a very difficult task
- (typically without training,
- which may or may not work)
- to make pivotal decisions 😬

Had a great time this morning at ABA SciTech talking forensic science standards with John Paul Jones II 📏⭐

Can you tell from someone's tweets whether they are lying?

Find out how making claims that contradict scientific consensus without offering any proof could be a clue to deceit.

What a great panel this was. So lucky to work with these folks.

The science is clear: Doctors more often misjudge a child's injuries as abuse when their caretaker is a poor, unmarried, Black man.

That is what I fear happened to Danyel Smith.

Rebecca Lindstrom recaps my and others' testimony at Mr. Smith's hearing...

Currently in Lawrenceville, GA to testify, and I impulse-bought this coffee table book on forensic science from a cute local bookstore 📔

It wasn't until later that I saw it has a whole section on cognitive bias! 🤗

How far we've come since 2013...

Other states should be paying attention.
States need to stop re-victimizing exonerees through terribly written compensation statutes.

What an epic week.
I miss you all already!
Hasta luego... 🇵🇷
