Dead Men Do Tell Tales

Jordan Taylor and Nicole Croomdeadmendotellpodcast.com
Dead Men Do Tell Tales is a bimonthly podcast produced by two pathology residents interested in becoming forensic pathologists, Drs. Jordan Taylor (JET) and Nicole Croom (Nic). Forensic pathology is a medical subspecialty that focuses on determining the cause, manner, and mechanism of death. Forensic pathologists help organize and work closely with death investigators to piece together a person’s final moments. Each episode, JET and Nic engage in an in-depth conversation about a forensics-related topic with the aims of: (1) de-mythifying the field of forensic pathology for the general public and (2) increasing interest in the pursuit of forensic medicine as a career.
