Crime-Solving Bugs
9/13/2019 | 3m 15sVideo has Closed Captions
On this episode of Innovation Hall, we put our squeamishness aside in the name of science.
Insects have long been useful to forensic investigators. Their biology can tell us a lot about how long a body has been dead. The downside is that using them to help solve crimes can take time. However a University at Albany Chemistry professor has found a way to speed up the process, producing almost instant results. On this episode of Innovation Hall, it's all about the bugs.
