We will cover brain plasticity research, music and its benefits to mental health, skills that translate from music to technology (and visa versa), and collaboration and team building through music for forensicators. We will also talk about the compelling results of our recent survey of DF/IR practitioners regarding music, our upcoming paper on this topic, and discuss the ultimate DF/IR playlist. '
