In episode one of our Community-based Solutions for Substance Use Challenges season, Just Science sits down with Dr. Samantha Tolliver, Chief Toxicologist for the District of Columbia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, or DC OCME, to discuss how their agency uses their Bureau of Justice Assistance's (BJA's) Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Use Program, or COSSUP, funding to improve their drug testing and analysis processes. For forensic toxicologists, it is important to be able to quickly and accurately identify which substances have contributed to an accidental overdose, so that they can monitor emerging drug trends in the area. The DC OCME's COSSUP funding has allowed their office to use reference labs to reduce their casework and focus on adopting new methods for drug testing and analysis. Listen along as Dr. Tolliver discusses challenges faced by forensic toxicologist in keeping up with drug trends, the benefits of adopting technology such as high-resolution mass spectrometry, and how improving drug testing methods can contribute to broader community overdose prevention efforts. This Just Science season is supported, in part, by RTI Award No. 15PNIJ-21-GK-02192-MUMU, awarded by the National Institute of Justice, and by RTI Award No. 15PBJA-23-GK-02250-COAP, awarded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance. Both are agencies within the Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice.

At the beginning of the 1900s, New York City was in turmoil. Prohibition loomed, outbreaks of typhoid and an influenza pandemic had people on edge, and the city was steeped in corruption. One of the many consequences of that corruption was a completely inept coroners office. Instead of having trained medical examiners work out the causes of sudden and suspicious deaths, New York City coroners were politically appointed. And they didn't have the slightest idea of how to do a thorough autopsy. They were sign painters and milkmen and funeral home operators and people who had done favors for the party. They bungled the cause of death so consistently and so dramatically that the police and the district attorney's office told coroners to stay away from their crime scenes. This was a horrific situation, unless you were a poisoner. In January, 1915, New York City's government released a report saying that murderers were easily escaping justice and that “skillful poisoning can be carried on almost with impunity.”In this episode of Tiny Matters, Sam and Deboki chat with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Deborah Blum, the author of The Poisoner's Handbook, about the rise of forensic toxicology in the United States. Listeners will be taken on a journey through some of the disturbing poisoning cases of the time that helped lay the groundwork for the field — with a focus on arsenic, radium and cyanide — and the pivot role medical examiner Charles Norris and chemist Alexander Gettler played in restoring public safety and finally stopping poisoners in their tracks.

Why do autopsy reports take so long to come back? While TV shows can make it seem like a two-step process, forensic toxicology can take weeks or months to figure out a person's cause of death. Our expert takes us through this process and how it's used in everyday life.

Microbial consortia are groups of diverse microorganisms that have the ability to act together in a community. Such consortia are common in nature and are known to play important roles in many ecosystems but are not always well understood. Soil management and nutrient mobilization are one area where complex communities of microbes are known to be important, whether it be a naturally occurring consortium, or a man-made consortium.  In this episode of Absolute Gene-ius Jordan and Cassie talk with Dr. Ray Ketchum form Agrinos about the microbial consortia he and his team cultivate and produce to improve plan health and increase crop yields. We learn about the challenges of fermenting mixtures of more than 20 diverse microorganisms to reproducibly make products that improve plant health and mobilize nutrients in a completely organic way. As you might expect, digital PCR plays in important role in Ray's R&D and quality control process.  Here, they use dPCR to titer each of the species within their consortia for quality and regulatory purposes, a task that cannot be done by cell culture methods given the range of bacteria involved. Cassie's career corner gets Ray sharing his full career development story from undergraduate, through grad school and postdoc positions, and into his professional career. Ray is generous in sharing his early misconceptions about miscalculations while providing advice to help other avoid similar missteps.  Visit the Absolute Gene-ius page to learn more about the guest, the hosts, and the Applied Biosystems QuantStudio Absolute Q Digital PCR System.

In episode seven of our Strengthening the Forensic Workforce season, Just Science sat down with Dr. Karen Scott, an Associate Professor, Forensic Toxicology Consultant, and Director of the Master of Science in Forensic Science program at Arcadia University, and Dr. Jarrad Wagner, a Professor and Director in the Oklahoma State University School of Forensic Sciences, to discuss research collaborations and keeping on top of the dynamic drug landscape encountered in forensic toxicology casework. One of the requirements of FEPAC accreditation is that programs maintain partnerships with external collaborators, such as forensic science laboratories and professional organizations. This is especially important for rapidly evolving disciplines like forensic toxicology where there is a constant influx of new drugs and analytical challenges such as a lack of available reference standards and complex biological matrices. Because of these issues, students and researchers at universities and practitioners in crime laboratories must work together to develop new techniques for novel drug detection and analysis in real-time. Listen along as Dr. Scott and Dr. Wagner discuss their FEPAC partnerships, on-going research efforts, and the importance of hands-on learning in their forensic toxicology programs. This episode is funded by the National Institute of Justice's Forensic Technology Center of Excellence.

Plants have developed an array of deadly defences and chemical compounds can turn an innocent looking ornamental into a deadly assassin. Different toxins affect different parts of our body too, causing everything from kidney failure, heart failure, brain damage and even death. It's why humans have used poisonous plants in weapons to kill prey and even commit murder. But most of the time, our run in with poisonous plants is a mistake with thousands of accidental poisoning illnesses and deaths each year all around the world because it's often very hard to tell the difference between something that’s poisonous, and something that’s not.

Welcome back to the Dream Chasing 101 Podcast hosted by @golfshan17. This episode is about the growth of Forensic Toxicology in South Africa and how Deputy Director Bronwen Davies has played a role in the development of this field of forensic science. With this being such a new concept in the practical field it may not seem so new to many of us with the excess of US/UK TV shows which showcase the practice of forensic toxicology. Bronwen chats about her time over in Washington where she encountered the practice of the science first hand and also saw how far behind South Africa is when it comes to forensic science.  Follow Bronwen: https://www.instagram.com/bronskiz Follow us and let us know what you think about the episode!

Early-1900s New York City was a place of utter chaos—a place where poisoners reigned supreme. That is, until a unique duo stepped in and started to win the long-fought battle between scientists and poisoners, creating the field of forensic toxicology in the process.  This episode, we'll dive into the history of poisoning, and stories that defined the Roaring Twenties.  

The biggest problem facing the toxicologist is that there are literally thousands of drugs and chemicals that are harmful, addictive, or lethal if ingested, injected, or inhaled. Some even absorb directly through the skin. Toxicological testing is time-consuming and expensive, and few, if any, labs can afford to perform such testing on every case. For this reason, the testing must be as focused as possible.

In 1833, a small village in Kent, England became the focus of attention when the patriarchal head of a wealthy farming family wound up dead, presumed murdered after an attack on the entire household, presumed to be the work of Arsenic Poisoning. The 1830’s were on the eve of a new era in Forensics, and the previously vague symptoms of poisoning were being slowly unravelled and understood on levels far deeper than ever before, but would these new methods of detection prove to be enough to not only detect the presence of poison, but to finger the culprit and see them locked away for their crimes, or would the poisoner simply slip away into anonymity as so many had done in the decades and centuries before?

That this did not occur presents a puzzle…” Davenport, S. (2018). Falling rates of marijuana dependence among heavy users. Drug and Alcohol Dependence, 191, 52–55.http://doi.org/10.1016/j.drugalcdep.2018.06.025NEXTThe Surprising Reach of FDA Regulation of Cannabis, Even After Descheduling.O'Connor SM, et al. Am Univ Law Rev. 2019.University of Washington School of Law.University of Missouri School of Law.CitationAm Univ Law Rev. 2019;68(3):823-925.Cannabis producers appear to assume that descheduling would facilitate a robust market in cannabis-based edibles and dietary supplements. In fact, neither of these things is true. If cannabis were descheduled, the FDA's complex and comprehensive regulatory framework governing foods, drugs, and dietary supplements would preclude much of this anticipated commerce. For example, any medical claims about cannabis would require the seller to complete the rigorous new drug approval process, the cost of which will be prohibitive for most current traditional providers.NEXTScience/Human: Cannabis use is associated with a lower probability of obesity in healthy peopleIn a representative group for the US population, who were followed for 3 years cannabis use was associated with a lower increase of BMI (body mass index). Researchers of the Department of Family Medicine of Michigan State University in East Lansing, USA, published their research in the International Journal of Epidemiology. Adults completed computer-assisted personal interviews on cannabis use, body weight and height at Waves 1 (2001-2002) and 2 (2004-2005).At wave 2, 77% of the participants never used cannabis, 18% had discontinued use, 3% were initiates and 2% were persistent users. Estimated BMI change over 3 years shows an increase for all subgroups. Compared with never-users, there was an inverse association of cannabis use with obesity and body mass index.NEXTScience: Degradation of THC over a course of 4 years under different storage conditionsResearchers of the Laboratory of Environmental Hygiene and Forensic Toxicology of the DMPO Department in Venice, Italy, investigated the degradation of THC in herbal and resin materials containing different initial concentrations of THC. Four representative samples were collected from each study material and were maintained for a prolonged time (four years) under different controlled storage conditions: (A) light and room temperature (22°C); (B) darkness and room temperature; (C) darkness and refrigeration (4 °C); (D) darkness and freezing (-20 °C)Almost 100% of THC was degraded after four years under conditions A and B (room temperature, light or dark). Data indicated that the storage temperature and light exposure had two different effects on the conversion of THC to CBN. Models were proposed which allow to predict the storage time, if unknown, and the initial content of THC, from the measurement of THC and CBN content at any time under storage condition A.Zamengo L, Bettin C, Badocco D, Di Marco V, Miolo G, Frison G. The role of time and storage conditions on the composition of hashish and marijuana samples: A four-year study.

It only increased among 12th-grade working youth.College of Nursing-Spokane, Washington State University, Washington, USA.Graves JM, et al. J Adolesc Health. 2019 Mar 14. [in press]Science/Human: Cannabis use mitigates inflammation associated with alcohol useIn a study with 66 regular alcohol drinkers concomitant cannabis use reduced the concentration of the pro-inflammatory mediator interleukin-6. Authors wrote that there “preliminary findings suggest that cannabinoid compounds may serve to mitigate inflammation associated with alcohol use.” Department of Psychology & Neuroscience, University of Colorado Boulder, Colorado, USA. Karoly HC, et al.

Carrà G, et al. Subst Abus. 2019:1-7.Science/Human: Cannabis use in patients with schizophrenia is associated with a reduced risk for inflammatory bowel diseaseIn a study with 21,066 cases with schizophrenia and 176,935 control subjects cannabis use was associated with a reduced risk for inflammatory bowel disease in patients with schizophrenia but not in the control group. Copenhagen Research Center for Mental Health - CORE, Mental Health Center Copenhagen, Copenhagen University Hospital, Denmark. Olesen JA, et al. Psychol Med. 2019:1-8.Science/Human: CBD degradation is slower in people with hepatic impairmentIn a clinical study patients with liver disease presented with slower degradation of CBD than in healthy people. Authors concluded that their “findings indicate that dose modification is necessary in patients with moderate and severe hepatic impairment, and a lower startingdose and slower titration are necessary based on benefit-risk.” GW Research Ltd, Cambridge, UK Taylor L, et al. J Clin Pharmacol. 2019 Mar 28. [in press]Science/Human: Cannabis use during pregnancy is associated with lower birth weightIn a study with 2173 patients infants born to mothers, who tested positive for THC in urine had a lower birth weight (mean: 2925 g) than babies not exposed to THC (mean: 3235 g).
