Working The "How Does a Forensic Anthropologist Work?" Edition
WNYC’s Arun Venugopal talks to Dr. Bradley Adams, a forensic anthropologist for the city of New York. Dr. Adams talks about the impact 9/11 had on forensic anthropology in the city, the different types of cases he investigates, and how there are no typical days in his line of work. Plus, Dr. Adams tells the story of an unidentified female body in Brooklyn and how he helped uncover a murder in the mafia. In a Slate Plus extra, Dr. Adams take a closer look at the skull of a person who had been shot in the head during the Civil War and discuss the challenges of identifying a person’s race just by looking at a skull.
