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.
Take all the science courses you can, and visit and talk to forensic science personnel. You'll find them very approachable.
Okay I will email you. I also suggest you give yourself more lead time on future assignments....
I'm not sure what you mean by 'off the job training.'
Temporarily, with sandpaper or chemicals, but they will grow back in the same pattern.

Why is movie theater food so overpriced?

Is it ok w/your employer if you babysit one of the kids outside of daycare hours?

How often do you have to fire someone, and does it ever get ugly?
Someone trained in accident reconstruction might be able to do so, but not having marks on the road makes it more difficult.
"Unreliability of a science" is pretty a broad swipe, so I don't have any idea what you're referring to. Any line of work--government, plumbing, brain surgery--can be unreliable if the people doing the work are undertrained,overeager, arrogant or lazy.
I'm so sorry but I wouldn't have any idea since I've never worked in toxicology. And since my agency doesn't do it either I don't have anyone to ask.
