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.
A) Totally unrelated to forensics.B) Already have it so it's not relevant.
Share Answer: 
Unfortunately, no, I cannot. I've never worked in toxicology. Sorry I couldn't help.
Share Answer: 
I’m not sure what you mean. Do you mean how does a forensic scientist advance in their career, or what scientific advancements have been made by forensic scientists?
Share Answer: 
I really don't know. I haven't done DNA analysis or biological analysis like that in over 20 years.
Sorry I can't help!

Are you a lot stronger and more fit because of your job?
I have no idea.
Share Answer: 
You will most likely need at least an associates degree in forensics or a natural science. How agile you need to be depends on what you're doing--if you're working in a lab, consistently on level ground, a disability would not be an issue. If you're doing crime scene work and you need to sometimes climb on top of roofs or into attics, out in fields, etc., then you need to be mobile. But nothing like police officers or rescue personnel.
Hope that helps!
