Academy of Television Arts & Sciences

An Emmy Award recognizes excellence in the television industry. It corresponds to the Grammy Award for music, the Academy Award, or the Oscar for film and the Tony Award for theatre. Winning all four is referred to as the grand slam or “EGOT” coined by actor Philip Michael Thomas who said his acronym originally stood for energy, growth, opportunity and talent. Only 12 people have achieved this. Directly off the Emmy website, The Emmy Awards were conceived in 1948 and its founding fathers struggled to name the awards. Something interesting I found was that the awards were supposed to be named “Immy’s”, but was feminized as “Emmys” to match the statuette. The first award ceremony was in 1949 and the awards were given to Los Angeles area programming.…

The hit television series, Bones Season 1 Episode 22, followed a storyline into the disappearance of the lead player, Temperance Brennan aka “Bones” parents. Bones and her brother were abandoned by their parents when they were children (Fox Film Corporation, 2006). Over the years Bones found herself plagued with questions of what might have caused the nature of their disappearance. Did her parents simply abandon her and her brother, or where they dead? The Woman in Limbo episode brought to light…

role in solving cases; evidence is a one of these key elements. Many factors can determine if the evidence submitted before a court of law is accurate such as how the evidence is collected, if proper protocell was followed before the laboratory’s handling of the evidence, and if the evidences was accurately processed by the crime scene laboratory by various forensic scientists. Furthermore, with the advances in technology in today’s society, various pieces of evidence such a DNA analysis have…

A forensic anthropologist is trained in the study of human skeletal biology and typically use their training to identify deceased when skeletal remains are the only useful evidence. They determine whether the skeletal remains are for a human or nonhuman. They use their training to identify the sex of the individual based on the skeletal remains found. The forensic anthropologist can estimate the time of death and the cause of death when the remains are not suitable for examination by a…

I do not know much about art, but Dr. Maples spoke of him in a very positive way. In this chapter, the author was discussing what goes on at the forensic anthropology conventions. Anthropologists from all over would meet and talk about some of the crazier cases they had and never got the chance to face. When discussing the death of the famous artist, the author expressed the speculation of his color technique was really just a result of digitalis poisoning. I won’t lie, I have no idea what that…

Back in 1778, a Swedish chemist named Carl Wilhelm Scheele found Molybdenum in Sweden. At first, Molybdenite was originally thought to be graphite. (Molybdenite is the principal ore in which Molybdenum is now separated from. Molybdentie was previously know as Molybdena.) Molybdenite was confused with graphite. Like graphite, it could be used to darken surfaces or can even serve as a solid lubricant. However, Carl Wilhelm Scheele was not convinced that it was graphite. Upon further…

to know from where someone came from, how they live and how they died, their eyes will not help because when we died they close forever, and in that moment when not even our faces are recognizable the truth about ourselves lies in our bones. People often think that our bones are not more than a part of our bodies that help us moves and live, but they are much more than that, they store every one of our experiences, when we fall or how much time we have spent wearing heals. Our bones are for a…

In scenario you determine different parts of Forensic Science such as Entomology, Odontology, Anthropology, Pathology, and the Microbiology methods to complete the crime investigation. In the test center, forensic biologists scrutinize this proof using microscopes as well as additional machinery. Introduction Forensic Biologist are used in crime scenes to determine the outcome of scene. They also use Forensic Entomology, Odontology, Anthropology, Pathology, and microbiology…

While you’re majoring in anthropology you should also take the science elective courses: chemistry, anatomy, biology, physiology, and genetics, these courses also meet the requirements for freshman and sophomores in college. Dr. A. Midori Albert (2016), a forensic anthropologist at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington states “that a forensic anthropologist is an anthropologist first and a forensic scientist second” (“Education Required for Forensic Anthropology,” n.d.). According to…

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated with forensic science and I distinctly remember my brother and I running home from the bus stop every day, when we were in middle school, just so we would not miss the introductory scene of the new Criminal Minds episode. The show always began right at 3 and our bus got to the stop roughly around 2:55; just enough time to run home and turn it to the right channel. And as any fan of Criminal Minds knows, the beginning is the most captivating…
