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.
I got a little queasy at my very first autopsy, but since then, no.

I'm sorry I can't help but that's a pathology question. I do not know.
Share Answer: 
Yes. I've never heard it mentioned that certain things don't show up until later.
Share Answer: 
Go to a college that offers a degree in forensic science. Each college or university should have a website where they list the degrees they provide.

I'm sorry but I don't know. A DNA testing company can probably help you. Best of luck!

I'm sorry but I wouldn't have any idea. You'd have to ask an anthropologist.
Share Answer: 
That depends on what job you're applying for--does it entail more lab work or more scene work? The only way to know for sure is call the places you might want to work and ask, or at least check out job postings online.
