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.
When i go to a party people want to talk to me. That never happened before. Otherwise, it doesn't, except for the obvious scheduling/overtime problems.
I'm afraid I wouldn't have any idea. Call your local crime labs and ask their personnel for suggestions.
Yes, I'll email you when I'm back at work tomorrow.
Sure, I'll email you.
I just tried to email you and it came back undeliverable. You can email me at lisa-black@live.com.

What's the longest playing gaming session you've ever had?
Well, if it's found on the victim, you might ask if it came from the suspect's clothing/upholstery/etc., and vice versa. Or it could similarly link either party to the crime scene, depending upon the circumstances of the case.
I have no idea. You'll have to ask the agency to which you are applying. They may all have different requirements.
Not as far as I know. I think that would be too difficult because even if you could assess staleness, you wouldn't know how fast the person smokes a pack, therefore how long the pack had been open, how it had been stored, etc.
