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.
Yes, soap will take care of it.
titles and job requirements aren't uniform, so the only way to know is to call the crime labs in your area or whereever you might be interested in working and ask them. You can also go on the websites for professional organizations such as the American Academy of Forensic Sciences and check out their job vacancy postings and see what the various positions require. Good luck.
What was it they were testing?
I'm sorry but that's a very broad question. What kind of pattern and impression evidence are you talking about?
Certified Nurse Aide
Have you ever seen any 'senior abuse' in your nursing home?
Sushi Chef
How do sushi chefs tell when a fish has gone bad? Is it just the smell?
Antiques Dealer
How easy is it to forge a rare piece, and are fakes a big problem in the antiquing world?
Sorry, but I’m not trained in digital forensics. I have absolutely no idea.
But what sample were they testing? What piece of evidence were they analyzing in the gas chromatograph?
Sorry, but I really don't know. You'd have to ask a pathologist. I imagine it might depend on how long after death the person was in the water.
