In episode two of the DNA season, Just Science interviews Dr. Kenneth Kidd, Professor Emeritus of Genetics at Yale University, about his research in genetics. \n\nDr. Kenneth Kidd has been working on grants from the National Institute of Justice for nearly a decade. In that time, he has made great contributions to our understanding of genetics and its use in forensics. \n\nWhile his work started with genetic modeling of various disorders, it quickly expanded to include many sub-disciplines of DNA research. Listen in as he discusses genetic mapping, population genetics, and his research journey in this episode. \n\nFor more information on Dr. Kidd\u2019s contributions to forensics, listen to the episode \u201cJust Microhaps Perhaps\u201d in the 2018 NIJ R&D season of Just Science. \n \nThis season is funded by the National Institute of Justice\u2019s Forensic Technology Center of Excellence.
