Nothing Sparks Faster Than A "Bad Idea" | James Creecy |TEDxUCO | James Creecy | TEDxUCO

Nothing sparks faster than a bad idea! We call bad ideas misinformation, half-truths, or lies but no matter what we call them bad ideas have a negative impact on society. In many instances the spark for these ideas are intentionally released into the populous in order to obtain a short-term gain for a select individual or group of individuals. Dr. James Creecy talks about what scientist must do to combat this spark of bad ideas. Dr. James Creecy is the Assistant Director of the W. Roger Webb Forensic Science Institute at the University of Central Oklahoma, and the Co-Director of the UCO Center for Wildlife Forensic Science and Conservation Studies. Prior to joining the faculty of UCO, Creecy was a DNA analyst for the Oklahoma City Police Department Crime Laboratory. Since leaving the crime lab, his research interests have broadened to include the application of advanced genomic technologies and high-performance computational analysis to wildlife investigations. His primary research currently focuses on developing and improving the analysis of DNA evidence from wildlife cases through the use of high-throughput sequencing and high-performance computational analysis. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
