Learning

That’s why I listen, to learn things. Jan did a great job in this interview.

I hope I got it right that I understood Dr. Hampikian to say that if DNA is NOT found, that doesn’t necessarily prove someone’s innocence! Yikes. Attorneys hoping to continue billing for time might tout the “insufficient evidence” to cast doubt on someone’s innocence even though there is no DNA to link them to crime.

Thanks for having Dr. Hampikian share his woke knowledge!

Willing to take on challenging topics!

Very much enjoyed my interview with Jan Flynn for the Crow’s Feet podcast. I appreciate that Crow’s Feet just doesn’t do fluff pieces about aging, and is willing to take on tough topics such as how ageism shows up in the workplace, and what we can do about it. Bravo!
