0:00.0 | Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in. |
0:05.8 | Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years. |
0:11.0 | Yachtold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program. |
0:20.1 | To learn more about Yachtolt, visit yawcult.co. |
0:22.7 | .jp. That's Y-A-K-U-L-T.C-O.JP. When it comes to a guide for your gut, count on Yacult. |
0:35.2 | 23 years ago, a series of coordinated terrorist attacks killed nearly 3,000 people, |
0:40.8 | and turned Manhattan's iconic World Trade Center into ground zero. |
0:45.7 | Most of you probably remember seeing footage and photos of the long, complicated process |
0:50.6 | of looking for victims in the smoldering debris. |
0:53.4 | But you might not realize that for |
0:55.2 | forensic scientists, that work is far from finished even today. For Scientific American Science |
1:00.9 | Quickly, I'm Rachel Feldman. I'm joined today by Kathleen Carrotto, the Forensics |
1:05.5 | Executive Director at Syracuse University College of Arts and Sciences. She's here to tell us how the staggering |
1:11.5 | scale of 9-11's mass casualty event presented forensic scientists with new challenges, |
1:16.8 | and how the lessons they learned are helping them identify wildfire victims, suspected criminals, |
1:22.4 | and the many remaining casualties of 9-11 itself. Thank you so much for joining us today. |
1:29.4 | My pleasure. |
1:30.6 | So broadly speaking, what kind of impact did 9-11 have on the forensic science community? |
1:37.4 | Well, the event that happened in 9-11 in the World Trade Center was basically the first time that DNA analysis was used to identify |
1:46.4 | victims on such a large scale. So while there were about 2,700 victims or so, due to the fire, |
1:55.0 | the explosion, the building collapse, there were a lot of very small samples. A lot of the bodies |
2:00.3 | were degraded. Really, that's the first |
