While shifting tariff rates and tensions between powers are forcing companies to remain attentive to how they operate, extreme weather events and cyber readiness are known unknowns that can be planned for in a more pragmatic manner.
As disruption becomes the new normal, how are leaders seeing through the noise to stay on track and take action when a response is necessary?

The focus of this project was the application and limitations of technology used for fire investigations. Today’s field-portable GC/MS) systems were found to provide lab-quality data for volatile hydrocarbons but the interpretation of that data proved challenging for field operators. Online access to lab experts is essential. Evidence sampling is enhanced with the use of sensitive Photoionization Detectors (PID) as a supplement to canine searches.

COVID-19 has had an enormous effect on the workforce, and not just in the areas of operations and logistics. Workplace schedules have been completely rearranged, work-life balance has been turned on its head from telework, and reduced “in lab” hours have caused strain on an already stressed workforce. In this webinar, you will hear from three experts in workplace wellness, particularly in forensic science. They will discuss the various stresses in forensic laboratories, including issues like vicarious trauma, and present strategies that leaders can use to mitigate the negative effects of stress on their employees and improve the overall wellness of their lab.

As wildfires grow in intensity and frequency across regions from the Mediterranean basin to the California coast, forestation is increasingly promoted as a nature-based solution to prevent and mitigate their impact.
The challenge lies in ensuring these efforts create healthy, well-managed forests that can withstand fire, rather than fuel it. What role can forestation and technological solutions play in the strategy to fight wildfires?
