The Forensic Lens PodcastWhat the Sea ReturnsDetached feet washing ashore along the Salish Sea have fueled years of speculation, online theories, and true-crime narratives. But from a forensic perspective, these discoveries are not messages of violence—they are the predictable outcomes of biology, footwear design, and aquatic taphonomy.In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I examine how modern shoes float, protect soft tissue, and preserve DNA; how water environments naturally disarticulate the human body over time; and why the geography and currents of the Salish Sea create recurring shoreline recoveries. The pattern, unsettling as it appears, points not to...
2026-02-1807 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastIt’s Never Over: New Year, New Music, Volume 2Is “older listening age” really a sign of nostalgia—or cognitive growth?In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I revisit the idea of musical novelty in the streaming era. When younger listeners discover Fleetwood Mac, Jeff Buckley, or Radiohead for the first time, are they looking backward—or forming entirely new emotional timelines? Drawing from neuroscience research on music, memory, and dopamine-driven pattern recognition, I explore how the brain responds not to release dates, but to experience.Music activates networks linking identity, emotion, and autobiographical memory. It can retr...

The Jay Aruga ShowBONUS EPISODE: GRABE! 14 Mga Santo na Hindi Nabubulok ng Simbahang KatolikoAng modern world ay puno ng pagdududa at pagwawalang-bahala sa pananampalataya — pero may mga bagay na hindi kayang ipaliwanag ng science. Isa na rito ang katawan ng ilang mga santo na nanatiling buo at hindi nabubulok sa kabila ng paglipas ng daan-daang taon — isang misteryong patuloy na bumibighani sa Simbahang Katoliko. Sa episode na ito, sabay-sabay nating susuriin ang 14 na pinaka-kahanga-hangang kaso ng mga incorrupt na katawan ng mga santo, kabilang sina St. Bernadette Soubirous, St. Padre Pio, St. Francis Xavier, at marami pang iba na magpapatunay na may mga bagay talaga na lampas sa kaya ng agham.

2026-02-0613 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastWhat Do We Mean When We Say “Intelligent”?In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I unpack what “intelligence” actually means—and why the term has become dangerously imprecise in the age of artificial intelligence. Drawing from anthropology and psychology, I revisit how intelligence has traditionally been defined: not as output, speed, or fluency, but as the capacity to learn from experience and adapt to real environments over time.Using insights from Frans de Waal’s work on animal cognition, Jean Piaget’s theory of cognitive development, and Robert Sternberg’s adaptive model of intelligence, this episode contrasts embodied, affective, and socially gro...
2026-02-0409 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastThe Forensic GapIn this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I examine a persistent structural problem in Philippine forensic science education: the widening gap between what universities prepare students for and what operational forensic agencies are realistically designed to provide. Drawing from years of teaching, mentorship, and professional experience in the Philippines, the UK, and Australia, I discuss why many forensic science students reach their final years academically prepared—yet struggle to secure the internship placements required to complete their training on time.This episode looks at the limits of operational agencies as training environments, the co...
2026-01-2808 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastThe Box, the Barcode, and the Basics of SleuthingThis episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast examines a homicide case from Camarines Norte that briefly captured public attention for its shocking imagery—but was ultimately solved through something far less dramatic: methodical forensic thinking. Moving beyond spectacle, I unpack how ordinary tools like retail barcodes, CCTV footage, and contextual background information were used patiently and correctly to reconstruct sequence, establish convergence, and close in on the truth. This is a reminder of what real forensic work looks like when the basics are done well—quiet, disciplined, and grounded in evidence rather than theatrics.📖 Read th...
2026-01-2107 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastNew Year, New MusicAs a new year begins, this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast turns to an unexpected subject: music—and what listening habits reveal about the human brain. Drawing from neuroscience, evolutionary theory, and personal reflection, I explore how music evolved as cognitive infrastructure, why unfamiliar sounds activate learning and neuroplasticity, and how novelty in listening keeps the brain flexible, curious, and socially attuned. In an age of algorithmic repetition, choosing new music becomes a quiet act of cognitive and cultural resistance—one that keeps both our brains and our empathy moving forward.📖 Read the full ar...
2026-01-1407 minThe Forensic Lens Podcast2025: The Year Forensic Science Leapt Forward (While We Debated PPE)From fingerprints recovered on fired bullets to AI-assisted autopsies, 2025 was a year of remarkable breakthroughs in forensic science. Yet while the world raced ahead, the Philippines was still arguing over PPE and chain of custody. In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I explore how global innovation reshaped DNA analysis, ballistics, and digital forensics—and why our own systems remain trapped at the starting line. The future of forensics has arrived; the question is whether we’re ready to catch up.📖 Read the full article on Agham Road. 🌐 Learn more...
2025-12-1008 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastSame Brain, Different WiringWhy do our brains differ—and what does culture have to do with it? In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I explore new research showing how the human brain rewires at four key stages of life—around ages 9, 32, 66, and 83—and how gender, stress, and culture shape those changes. From hormones to classrooms, parenting to aging, our neural wiring is a biography written by both biology and society. The brain is not fixed—it is biocultural, adapting as our lives unfold.📖 Read the full article on Agham Road. 🌐 Learn more abo...
2025-12-0307 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastHuman Biology in the Industrial AgeHumans evolved under open skies and natural rhythms—but now spend 93% of life indoors, breathing filtered air and surrounded by synthetic materials. In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I explore new research suggesting that our modern, industrial environment is outpacing our ability to adapt. From falling fertility rates to weakened immunity and cognitive strain, we may be witnessing an evolutionary mismatch between our biology and the world we’ve built. The question is no longer how fast we can advance—but whether our bodies can keep up.📖 Read the full article on Agham Roa...
2025-11-2607 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastEven Chimps Follow the EvidenceAt Uganda’s Ngamba Island Sanctuary, chimpanzees were given clues to find hidden fruit—and when stronger evidence appeared, they changed their minds. In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I explore what this tells us about belief, bias, and the biology of reasoning. If chimps can update their conclusions when the facts change, why can’t we? From evolution to culture, this episode examines why rationality is not just human—and why evidence, not ego, should guide how we think.📖 Read the full article on Agham Road.🌐 Learn more abo...
2025-11-1907 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastThe Biology of BurdenIn the wake of Super Typhoon Uwan, thousands of Filipino children once again found themselves caring for siblings, lining up for rations, and helping their families rebuild. In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I examine what happens to the developing body and brain when children are forced to grow up too soon. From stress hormones to shortened telomeres, we explore how disasters and deprivation reshape biology itself—and why protecting childhood is not sentiment, but survival.📖 Read the full article on Agham Road. 🌐 Learn more about my work here.
2025-11-1308 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastThe Anthropology of Hybrids in Alien: EarthAlien: Earth imagines a future where corporations outrun nations and treat life as inventory. At its center are “hybrids” like Wendy—children’s minds transferred into synthetic adult bodies. In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I examine what Wendy and her cohort reveal about human development as a biocultural process: how bodies and selves grow together over time, why childhood and adolescence can’t be engineered or skipped, and how treating memory, identity, and attachment as uploadable “assets” turns progress into arrested becoming.📖 Read the full article on Agham Road.🌐 Learn...
2025-11-0606 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastForensics in the LouvreWhen thieves stole France’s crown jewels from the Louvre in a seven-minute daylight heist, investigators faced a paradox: a crime scene that was also a cultural treasure. In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I explore how forensic science operates in the world’s most fragile environments—where every fingerprint, fiber, and speck of dust must be examined without damaging centuries of history. In the Louvre, science doesn’t just solve a crime—it safeguards civilization’s memory.📖 Read the full article on Agham Road.🌐 Learn more about my work here...
2025-10-2307 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastExpanding Pisay, Building a NationThe Expanded Philippine Science High School (PSHS) System Act marks a new chapter in the country’s scientific story—doubling Pisay campuses, and with them, the potential for a culture of reason, merit, and service. In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I reflect on the “Pisay way”—service to the nation, excellence, and integrity—and why the expansion is not only about education, but about cultural reform. If we can think scientifically and act ethically, we can build not just more schools, but a better nation.📖 Read the full article on Agham Road.
2025-10-1607 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastWhat Jane Revealed About UsDame Jane Goodall’s death in October 2025 marked the end of an era in primatology—but her work continues to shape how we understand what it means to be human. In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I explore how Goodall’s six decades of chimpanzee research bridged biology, empathy, and ethics—revealing that humanity’s roots are not apart from nature, but within it.📖 Read the full article on Agham Road.🌐 Learn more about my work here.#TheForensicLens #BiologicalAnthropology #JaneGoodall #PrimateBehavior #HumanEvolution
2025-10-0908 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastWalang Gulo: Peace and Order/DisorderIn the Philippines, we often hear “peace and order” instead of “law and order.” But what happens when our instinct to avoid conflict — walang gulo — allows corruption and impunity to thrive? In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I explore how cultural values, biological anthropology, and political scandals intersect to reveal why silence too often replaces justice. Real peace, I argue, is not the absence of conflict but the presence of accountability.📖 Read the full article on Agham Road.🌐 Learn more about my work here.#TheForensicL...

Sound BhaktiStay Vigilant to Spot Offenses in Your Japa | HG Vaisesika Dasa | 05 Sep 2020The best way is to, as Prabhupada said, train your eyes to spot offenses and take the ten offenses as very important. Don't take it as rote, that it's something we recite early in the morning before we start chanting. Instead, look into it and see how you can integrate those prohibitions into your lifestyle. And that's the only blockade between us and śuddha-nāma.
As Bhaktivinoda points out in the Harir Nāma Cintāmaṇi, there are clouds and mist that block us from getting the full effect of the holy name. Those come in the form of aparād...
2025-09-2530 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastBefore You Call It an Alien SpaceshipWhen interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS was spotted in July 2025, social media rushed to call it an alien probe. But as any forensic scientist knows, evidence comes first, speculation later.In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I unpack why a comet discovery is a perfect case study in disciplined reasoning. From classification to hypothesis testing, I explore how science systematically rules out natural explanations before entertaining extraordinary ones — and why this mindset matters not just for astronomy, but for justice, media, and civic life.📖 Read the full article on Agham Road.🌐 Learn more about my...
2025-09-2506 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastWhy We Keep Choosing Bad Leaders: The Neuroanthropology of Decision-MakingAre Filipinos simply “bad voters”—or are our brains and choices shaped by poverty, stress, and survival? In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I explore how neuroanthropology helps explain why clientelism and vote-buying persist, linking scarcity, cognitive load, malnutrition, and education deficits to short-term decision-making.The problem isn’t just political—it’s biological and cultural. To break the cycle, we must invest in nutrition, early childhood programs, and cognitive capital so that voters can engage critically and rationally with democracy.📖 Read the full article on Agham Road.
2025-09-1809 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastWhen Ego Floods the Nation: A Forensic Look at CorruptionGhost projects, padded contracts, and billions lost — the Philippine flood-control scandal has become a case study in systemic corruption. But beyond the headlines lies a deeper question: why do certain personalities keep rising to the top, and why does the system seem to reward them?In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I explore corruption through the lens of forensic behavioral science and evolutionary psychology. From the dark triad of psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism to the cultural values that both resist and enable graft, I examine how governance becomes an “ecology” that selects for op...
2025-09-1308 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastFrom Selfies to Subpoenas: When Social Posts Become Digital EvidenceLuxury bags, ski trips, private jets — viral posts tied to the flood-control scandal ignited outrage across Philippine social media. But beyond memes and “nepo baby” backlash lies a forensic question: when do social posts stop being gossip and start becoming evidence?In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I explore how digital traces — screenshots, metadata, chat logs, even TikToks — can become probative in corruption cases if properly preserved and authenticated. As traditional biological evidence gives way to digital trails, the challenge is not just capturing scandal but converting it into justice....
2025-09-1207 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastForensic Intelligence: Turning Fragments into ForesightWhen an IED explodes, most see wreckage. A forensic eye sees fragments that can reveal bomb-makers, supply chains, and networks. This is the essence of forensic intelligence — turning traces into strategy.In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I explore how forensic intelligence shifts the focus from courtroom evidence to operational foresight. Drawing from cases in the Philippines — from the Jolo Cathedral bombing to Marawi’s digital front — and international lessons from Iraq, Salisbury, and MH17, I show how science connects micro-traces to macro-networks. The message is clear: the officer of tomorrow must not only...
2025-09-1107 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastIn Your Face: Genes, Expressions, and IdentityHow much of who we are is written on the face? From family resemblances and DNA phenotyping to doppelgängers, expressions, and cultural interpretations, the face lies at the crossroads of biology and society.In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I explore what genes can and cannot reveal about appearance, how Filipino expressions carry unique meanings, and why snap judgments about “criminal-looking” faces echo the pseudoscience of physiognomy. The face is more than features — it is a layered text of inheritance, culture, and perception.📖 Read the full article on...
2025-09-1008 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastAgham Pangkatarungan: Decolonizing Forensic Science in the Filipino ContextWhat happens when the demands of forensic science collide with Filipino cultural beliefs — from fears of disturbing the dead to values like pakikisama, hiya, and utang-na-loob? In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I examine the tensions between tradition and scientific rigor, and why the Philippines must build a forensic science that is both methodologically strong and culturally responsive.I call this vision Agham Pangkatarungan — a science of justice grounded in Filipino realities. From weak science education to colonial legacies of rote learning, I explore why our forensic system struggles, and how rooting scie...
2025-09-0909 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastForever Loved: Forensic Anthropology and the Global Search for the MissingBehind every forensic technique lies a deeper truth: someone is missing, and someone else is waiting. From Australia’s National Missing Persons Week to the UN’s International Day of the Disappeared, the world remembers those taken by disaster, violence, or dictatorship.In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I reflect on the global struggle to recover the missing — from Latin America to the Middle East, and here in the Philippines. Forensic anthropology is not just a technical science. It is an act of love: restoring names, dignity, and memory where silence once prevai...
2025-09-0807 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastForensics and the Failure of Flood ControlWhen torrential rains left dozens dead and displaced hundreds of thousands, President Marcos vowed to expose corruption in flood-control projects — projects meant to prevent catastrophe, not cause it. But how do we uncover the truth behind collapsed dikes, unfinished pump stations, and vanished funds?In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I argue that forensic thinking extends beyond crime scenes. From forensic engineering and accounting to satellite-based environmental forensics, the evidence of failure is written into broken levees and diverted budgets. More than resilience, what the Philippines needs is accountability — and the clarity to f...
2025-09-0707 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastBones, Brennan, and Beyond: The Real Work of Forensic AnthropologyTelevision shows like Bones introduced millions to the idea of the forensic anthropologist as a “bone expert.” But the real work goes far deeper. Forensic anthropology is about human evolution, variation, and the stories that bones still carry when everything else is gone.In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I unpack what forensic anthropology truly is — from distinguishing human from nonhuman remains to building biological profiles in cases of the missing and the unidentified. I also examine the gaps in Philippine forensic standards, the absence of skeletal collections and body farms, and why bu...
2025-09-0607 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastThe Silence of Water: Taphonomy and the Missing SabungerosWhen reports emerged that some of the missing sabungeros were murdered and dumped into Taal Lake, forensic science faced a haunting question: what happens to the human body in deep volcanic waters?In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I explore the role of taphonomy — the study of postmortem change — in unraveling the silence of water. From staining, sediment, and disarticulation to the overlooked need for forensic anthropology in the Philippines, this case exposes both the science and the gaps in our investigative system.📖 Read the full article on Agha...
2025-09-0508 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastThe Road Ahead for Forensic Science Education in the PhilippinesFrom Detective Conan dreams to the realities of the classroom, forensic science education in the Philippines has grown rapidly since 2012. Today, 17 universities offer forensic science programs, but many graduates still struggle to find relevant careers — a disconnect that threatens to undermine the field’s promise.In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I examine the challenges facing forensic science education: outdated curricula, limited job opportunities, weak university–agency linkages, and the need for international collaboration. Drawing from the EDCOM 2 findings and CHED reforms, I outline a roadmap for higher standards, stronger partnerships, and career...
2025-09-0408 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastConfidence and Confidence Intervals: Why Forensics Needs StatisticsForensic evidence is often presented in court with an air of certainty — but how certain are we, really? From bite marks to fingerprints to firearms, many methods still rely on the untested idea of “uniqueness.” Without error rates or statistical validation, confidence becomes assumption, not science.In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I explore why statistics are the backbone of credible forensic practice. Drawing on landmark reports from the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and PCAST, and my own training as the first Filipino formally educated in forensic anthropology, I highlight how pr...
2025-09-0307 minThe Forensic Lens PodcastScientific Standards in ForensicsIn March 2025, the haunting discovery of Slovak tourist Michaela Mickova’s body in Boracay revealed more than a crime scene — it exposed the fragile state of forensic practice in the Philippines. Responders worked with courage, but without full protective gear or consistent protocols, the images underscored what CHED Chair Popoy De Vera has called a national “forensics crisis.”In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I reflect on why scientific standards are the backbone of credible forensic work. From the eight core principles of science — empirical, systematic, objective, replicable, testable, tentative, predictive, and self-corre...

2025-09-0108 minSound BhaktiThe Art of Chanting with Full Attention and Without Offenses | HG Vaisesika Dasa | 10 Oct 2020There's a way in which, if one is pure or impure, "oṁ apavitraḥ pavitro vā sarvāvasthāṁ gato 'pi vā yaḥ smaret puṇḍarīkākṣaṁ sa bahyābhyantaraḥśuciḥ." If you somehow or other remember Kṛṣṇa, then whether you are in an impure state or not, you'll become pure by remembering Him. And the best way to remember Kṛṣṇa is by chanting His holy name. The conundrum comes when I feel that I'm so impure that I can barely chant. So when and how do we get out of that rut?

And despite the fact that the mind is difficult to control, or sometimes we don't have taste, we show up anyway. This is an indication that one's moving into that clearing stage.
