This week, Si and Christa talk with James Eichbaum, global training manager at MSAB, about:

• The technical and procedural challenges that students bring to class that inform R&D and, in turn, training.
• The importance of training to thorough, forensically sound examinations, as well as to educating managers and other stakeholders on why thoroughness is important.
• As well, the need and ability for examiners to be able to articulate their own processes in a rapidly changing field.
• Training for different levels of personnel, from frontline officers all the way up to the lab.
• How the COVID-19 pandemic affected training course design and delivery.
• Some of the new things to look out for in both products and training from MSAB.
