The Forensic Anthropologist In Cross Bones By Kathy Reich

Kathleen Joan Reichs, or Kathy Reichs for short, is an American author and forensic anthropologist(“Kathy Reichs | Biography.”). She is the author of many books, her main independent series being BONES and a collaborative series VIRALS with her son(“About Kathy”). Kathy Reichs is also very well known for the successful TV adaptation of her BONES books,following the life of a forensic anthropologist much like herself who uses her skills to solve murders. Kathy Reichs is an interesting person in that she is a successful author, a professor of Anthropology at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte, one of only eighty-two forensic anthropologists, and one of the producers for the television series based off her books.(“About Kathy”).

Globalizing discourses, crime scene investigations, knowledge regarding diverse cultural developments and in-depth research on myriad issues is what I wish to do and connecting these situations adds up to my choice of major, which is Anthropology.

Everyone is forced to make choices throughout the course of ones life, ultimately the choices we make will define our lives and who we are. Salvage The Bones is the perfect story to serve as an example of how your choices define your life and who you are. Esch was faced with numerous difficult decisions, of course being a female in the place she was and having to put into consideration the rest of her family made it more difficult for her to decide. Many times when you are making a choice you have to think about others around you before you think of yourself, at least thats how I make my decisions especially if its an important one.

Like other Yale senior societies, Skull and Bones membership was almost exclusively limited to white Protestant males for much of its history. While Yale itself had exclusionary policies directed at particular ethnic and religious groups, the senior societies were even more exclusionary.[11][12] While some Catholics were able to join such groups, Jews were more often not.[12] Some of these excluded groups eventually entered Skull and Bones by means of sports, through the society's practice of tapping standout athletes. Star football players included the first Jewish (Al Hessberg, class of 1938) and African-American (Levi Jackson, class of 1950, who turned down the invitation for the Berzelius Society) students to be tapped for Skull and Bones.[11]

It is now the year 5000, and most of the United States (US) has been covered in snow, since 2016. For the first time in almost 3000 years the snow has let up and parts of the US, and parts of the US are available to be explored. While countless other architects are excited about the prospects, there is only so much land that was uncovered. An area still available is a modest, remote place in the middle of the US. With the snow covering everything and poor record keeping, archeologist is walking into the situation with little to no information. What we do know is times have changed dramatically since the snow took over.

My favorite snippet of “The Walking Dead” takes place in the first season when the show demonstrates the neurological effect the zombie virus has on the brain and how electric impulses continue to fire in certain cortexes even after death. In the next season, viewers learn that the virus lies dormant in everyone and then activates after death. While most people probably dismissed these scenes when the next zombie attack transpired, I spent time contemplating the possibility of a virus or disease affecting the brain in a way similar to that depicted. What enthralled my imagination had little to do with the action or gore, but rather the scientific reasoning and justification. With my curiosity sparked, I researched the notion of zombies,

Figuratively forensic Anthropologists aren’t actually giving a face to the lost. They are not taking someone that is lost and giving them a face and saying you are this person and your name is now whatever. “Forensic anthropologists use dental records, x rays, and the human skeleton” (obviously) to try and figure out who the victim is.They do not actually give people a real face of muscle and skin.

I am still undecided on what career pathway I want to take. Both jobs seem so great to me and it is a tough decision for me to make alone on just this research. In the upcoming weeks I am going to be doing a ride along with the Augusta County Sheriff's Office and I think that will help me with my decision by getting first hand experience of their job. Dr. Boyd said that I should come by for a college visit when I get the chance and I think that it would be great to talk to her and go more in depth into what it is really like in the field of forensic anthropology. Both jobs have good things I like and dislike. I like that detectives are always busy but I wish they earned more money. I like the field work that forensic anthropologists do but

Forensic anthropology is an important branch of forensic science. Forensic anthropology is the study of human remains. This branch of forensic science helps officials at crime scenes determine the identify, age, sex and cause of death of a victim by skeletal evidence and remains. Forensic anthropology includes applying anthropological fieldwork and and expertise to medicolegal issues. Forensic Osteology is the study of the skeleton. Forensic Archeology is the study of the controlled collection of human remains in a crime investigation. Forensic Taphonomy is the study of changes to the body after death, including decomposition and environmental modification.

I'm excited, it is my first visit with my somewhat new gynecologist. I have met him before, but this will be my first official exam done by him. He's so hot and his voice melts my heart each time I hear it. I'm in the waiting room, patiently watching the gynecology waiting room clock, go round and round. I began to watch the clock hands spin, and I began to drift off into deep thought, until I was interrupted. "Miss Peterson? The doctor will see you now." The young blonde assistant gingerly spoke "Oh great. Thank you, Ma'am." I thanked, as I walked into my doctor's office. To my surprise the office was empty, so I took a quick seat next to the examination table. My heart began to race as I saw all of the various tools and equipment precisely

Imagine being killed in your own bed, no blood, no eyes, no mess. In the book The Angel of Death, by Alane Ferguson, A murder shocks the town and sparks a large investigation. The victim is found in his bed with no eyes and there is no blood to be seen. This story takes place in a small Colorado town called Silverton. Throughout the book, there was a lot going on, but I had a few likes, dislikes, connections, and a recommendation.

In terms of previous work experience I have not formally instructed a course. However, I have participated in leading workshop sessions through the Forensic Anthropology Center at Texas State (FACTS) and have tutored for courses such as Introduction to Physical Anthropology, Anatomy, and Cultural Anthropology. I have also participated in data collection for research conducted at the Forensic Anthropology Research Facility at FACTS and the Human Identification Lab at CSU, Chico. These duties included documenting the progress of decomposition with photography and standardized forms; intake which consisted of tissue, blood, nail, and hair samples, photography, and documentation of the remains; categorization of evidence; data entry; NamUS database

The similarity between criminology and forensic anthropology is that both fields are used to aid police investigations to solve criminal events and activities (Hunt, 2017). Their applications in crime scenes may be different with criminology helping study crimes from a social perspective and forensic anthropology studying the remains of dead human beings to establish the context of criminal activity (Hunt, 2017), but all work towards finding solutions to criminal activities. Therefore criminology and forensic anthropology work towards achieving a solution to a crime scene and identifying the people related to a particular crime.

Crime scenes and human skeletal evidence are analogous. This is because they both tell stories of past occurrences. The crime scene reveals what happened before, during and after a crime is committed. The human skeleton also provides information on the ancestry, disease pattern, and the cause of death of a person (murder or natural causes). In Ghana, the layperson does not know what happens at crime scenes and how human skeletal evidence can be used to solve crimes. This study is therefore aimed at providing information on how the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service (GPS) conduct crime scene investigations and how human skeletal evidence has been used to solve crimes.
