Question: What does a forensic scientist do.

Hi madtazman! It largely depends on which speciality you decide to work in (DNA analysis, ballistics, trace evidence, etc) but generally the job involves working in a lab, analysing evidence submitted by the crime scene investigators and writing reports detailing your conclusions. You might also be asked to attend court and answer questions about your analysis which is called an expert witness testimony. I don’t work in industry…yet…I’m still studying, but I research forensic science problems. Thanks for your question! Best wishes, Katy
