In this episode of Impairment Perspectives, host Joey Jones speaks with Rob Moore and Rebecca Wood, the clinical scientists behind The Tox Lab podcast. Together, they discuss the evolving world of clinical and forensic toxicology, the rise of emerging synthetic drugs like nitazenes and orphine opioids, and the growing need for advanced testing methods such as high-resolution mass spectrometry. The conversation also explores the challenges of interpreting complex toxicology data, training the next generation of scientists, and bridging the gap between laboratory science, public health, and real-world impairment investigations.
