That is a cool job! I wonder how it must feel to investigate fingerprints, bullter holes, blod spots and even some bodies for a living. (What would you talk about if you young child wanted you to present for Career day?) People must like forensics because this kinda relates to the crime fighting camera we read about earlier. (I know Eva, Natasha, and I have taken an interest to it) I thought TV shows made everything look easy, but in reality they simplify everything. (Just like what TV does to doctors) It must be fun yet tiring to be a forensic scientist. I don't know, but personally having a job at the DNA lab seems the hardest. I always thought the TV shows were intriguing, it must be interesting to spend a day with the forensic scientists. How much training is needed to be a forensic scientist? Which is the hardest role? Which section has the most workers? It is interesting how fast the body can decompose during the summer. (It takes only 2 weeks? :O) It must be more of a rush during the summer time, because once a body decays it is harder to use forensics (even though tey can do it ;) ) Very neat article!
This is really cool, just like Bianca said. You must be not be easily grossed out otherwise you could not do this job. I also thought that this was really easy to do this, but it is just the "crust" of the idea., They must have fun and also learn a lot about human bodies and how to identify what had happened to the victim. This is interesting because it could help us find criminals more easily than just arresting a random person and not be able to identify whether he or she is the criminal. All in all, this was a very good article and deserves and A+.
This article was interesting. It sort of makes it sound "fun" to be a forensic scientist, but I think they could have used a little more description about evidence and how to handle it. I also thought the Body Farm was very interesting. I wonder how many possibilities there are. To make the process faster, they could simulate different weather inside rooms and try some different possibilities there. I also think they should have said more than "It's all about making sure that the correct person is prosecuted". It would be horrible to put the wrong person in jail. Overall, I think this article was interesting, but could have used a little more information in a few places.
Wow! I mean, it's very interesting to see how they investigate murders. It's very fun to read about them in books, but it's cool to read about them in real life. I think that each role is hard, but you need different skills. You would probably need patience for the DNA lab job. You would need to be really careful for the other two jobs. I think the "On the scene" one would have the most workers, because you can solve a crime that way. I think the bone one would not need so many workers, except in the summertime. The bodies decompose fast! So it's probably easier to solve crimes in December than June. Also, the bone thing sounds kind of like our height study in Anthropology. Overall, this was a cool article. I wouldn't want to have this job, but if they like it, it's fine with me!
This article was really intriguing. Imagine the patience you would need for that job.
