This episode of INFOCUS Podcast features hosts Scott Kuhlman and Chasity Owens recording live in front of Scott's Investigation 1B class on their lunch break. The hosts dive into a range of topics starting with a discussion on recent cases and common misunderstandings in the field, such as the confusion between negative corpus and the process of elimination in report writing.

The episode takes an interactive turn as the hosts field questions from the students, covering topics like evidence collection, report writing, and the challenges faced by new investigators. Scott and Chasity share valuable insights on articulating findings, using AI for transcription, and the importance of mentorship in the field. They also debate the concept of "imposter syndrome" and how it affects investigators at various stages of their careers.

The conversation takes an interesting detour into the differences between public and private sector investigations, with Scott sharing his experience transitioning from public to private work. The hosts also discuss onboarding procedures for new investigators and the importance of preventative care in the profession.

As always, the episode concludes with their signature segment "Can You Use It in a Sentence?" featuring the word "stoichiometric" and teasing a new term, "concoidal." The hosts wrap up with a playful ad for Fire Department Coffee. This episode offers a unique blend of professional insights, student interaction, and the hosts' trademark humor, making it an engaging listen for both seasoned investigators and newcomers to the field.
