Crime Scene Investigator On Finding Cooked Human Brain | Minutes With

In this week's episode, we speak to Jo Millington a forensic scientist and blood spatter expert on her incredible work identifying murderers through the 'magic art' of crime scene investigation. Jo reveals the common mistakes murderers make when killing, explains how you can never totally clean up a crime scene and how it feels like to catch a 7/7 London bomber.

She needs to write a book and record the audiobook. She is a wonderfully fascinating scientist and storyteller. Such brilliance and compassion!

[mikefernandes]

7 minutes in and I already know I could listen to her talk for hours and be fully captivated. It's a rare gift nowadays

[clarehogan]

I worked with Jo for years. She is an incredible scientist and a skilled communicator, not to mention a great role model.

[mach]

You can tell she is very empathetic by how she talks about her work. Her prioritizing respect for the individuals who have passed away is so kind.

[Anonymous-mpmt]

Admirable how she’s able to continue to work in situations that would leave most of us rocking in a corner from 1 crime scene.

I was lucky enough to meet Ms Millington at a science conference I went to with my school and she was the most wonderfully kind and patient person with us. Not many people as respected in their field as her, would make time for a gang of 12 y/o girls with only the barest understanding for what she does but the way she spoke with us and broke things down sticks with me even now. It was a major part of my decision to go into sciences later in school. A truly incredible woman.

She seems like a person you could just trust. With brining justice, with having your back, with finding answers.

Whilst the conversation topic was gruesome, this interview was inspiring to hear from someone who absolutely loves their job and respects it for what it is

[debbiewilby]

What an incredible woman Jo is!! I could sit and listen to her for hours upon hours!! This interview was just fascinating!! Thanks Jo!!

[splint]

A university lecturer once told me that the dropout rate of students in the forensics course that ran a uni near where I live is insanely high., like over 90 percent by final year. She seemed to think that people watch CSI and think the job would be like it is on TV. When they realize that it's a lot different and not at all glamourous or cool, they drop out. That aside, this was a very interesting video.

Jo is outstanding and is one of UK's leading biology BPA scientists. Her work takes her all over the world and she's in much demand. She's currently delivering some basic training to a new cohort of UK CSI's via the Forensic Training Partnership at Cranfield University.

I love listening to people who pick a vocation. People that are so passionate about what they do, it’s never just a job to them. It’s their life. Inspiring, great role model for women in STEM too. I could listen to so much more from her

[jayspot]

She's a modern day Dexter, but without all the killing! Fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable to listen to Jo, she's an incredible speaker! Would love to read her book if she ever wrote one!

[kleinmu]

Listening to her, I am in awe. And I'm cackling a bit because, bless her parents. Can you imagine sitting down with the head master and tell him that your daughter, at that time probably still a bit of a touchy subject in and of itself, wants to go all science to acquire a degree which qualifies her to professionally look at dead people? I live for that kind of parental support.

What a lucky human she is to have found her true calling and be supported by her family through it all!

[leannemackenzie]

I was lucky enough to have Jo come to our uni and teach a class to us about blood pattern analysis. She was so kind and knowledgable and we really enjoyed the class that day. We learned so much☺️

[JoelWende]

There are tens of thousands of remarkable scientists in the world, however the number who can communicate their work as wonderfully as Jo can is a much much smaller number. She needs to have her own tv show!

[laratheplanespotter]

I love Jo! I’m at university right now doing forensic science. I’m just going into my last year. Can’t wait to be qualified!

[SlavicStar]

So I was about to write a comment about how well spoken she is and that I could listen to her for hours and found that most comments are saying exactly the same thing. Big respect for her work.

[levi]

thats a woman who truly knew what she wanted to do and did it. incredible
