A medical doctor by training, Dr. Felipe Paulier is a passionate advocate for young people. Two years ago, aged just 32, his life took a new turn when he became the first-ever Assistant Secretary-General for Youth Affairs, the youngest senior appointment in the history of the United Nations.
“Leaving young people at the sidelines of how we find solutions is not the way. It’s really bringing them [in], because on many of the things, the solutions will come from them.”
The UN Youth Office believes that positive change is rooted in empowering young people to meaningfully participate in decisions that impact their lives and futures. In this episode, Felipe Paulier reflects on youth demands for peace and opportunity, on the stubborn barriers to change, and shares why he always prescribes reconnecting with nature as a cure for digital overwhelm.

When processing a digital image for scientific analysis and comparison, there are proper procedures that must be followed. This is to ensure the processed image’s admissibility in court and to provide the highest level of clarity and detail possible. Adobe Photoshop provides many tools for processing digital images; however, there are some tools that should not be used in forensic digital image processing.

Data availability is the cornerstone of progression of any scientific inquiry. For forensic anthropologists, the data sources are limited, as they must be contextually appropriate (temporal, geographical, etc.) for study and application in forensic research on human variation. In this webinar, the presenters will discuss The Forensic Anthropology Database for Assessing Methods Accuracy (FADAMA), a database that offers access to unique, innovative, and nuanced data. The webinar will cover the database’s goals, ethical considerations, research potential, data accessibility, and more. FADAMA provides a dynamic dataset for teaching purposes, starting on your first research project, or building on broad reaching questions. Furthermore, in the time of COVID-19, FADAMA offers an alternative to field research, and houses data that can answer an abundance of research questions, all while being accessed safely and securely online.
