<p>(In case that link opens the wrong video or something, it’s the one called “The 101 on digital manipulation.”)</p>

<p>This is from this Friday’s NBC Today Show. Professor Hany Farid, who is one of the leading experts in the field of digital forensics (basically, figuring out whether or not images have been Photoshopped or manipulated in any way), talks a bit about what he does. I had the privilege of taking a class with Professor Farid this past summer, and he is a fantastic lecturer/teacher as well as being a leader in his field (and also a really nice guy).</p>
