In this public talk, Dr. Dolphin will explore what it means to be a researcher aiming to do ‘good science’, while also doing ‘science for good’.

Working with the dead requires strong relationships with, and sensitivities to, not only your colleagues and national governments, but to the local communities without whom you could not do your work at all.
