Forensic Scientist

LIsa Black

Cape Coral, FL

Female, 49

I spent the five happiest years of my life in a morgue. As a forensic scientist in the Cleveland coroner’s office I analyzed gunshot residue on hands and clothing, hairs, fibers, paint, glass, DNA, blood and many other forms of trace evidence, as well as crime scenes. Now I'm a certified latent print examiner and CSI for a police department in Florida. I also write a series of forensic suspense novels, turning the day job into fiction. My books have been translated into six languages.

Today I tried to log into the forums, using my correct username and password and I received the message that the username/password were incorrect.I tried again, but the same thing happened. I checked my username and password spelling and yet they were correct, but I still got an error message. I had to reset my password. Why? I am totally sure that the credential I put in the login form were right and no one can change my credential.

I want to become a Forensic Biologist, similar to a Forensic Scientist. However, I'm unsure about what to major in Biology or Forensic Science? To become a Forensic Biologist, Do i major in Biology or Forensic Science?

Asked by Ash almost 7 years ago

I would guess that you should major in biology and minor in forensic science. I don't believe that a general forensic science program would be specific enough for a biologist job. But you should check want ads to see what they require.
