Hi there, my daughter is in year 9 @ High School and has been tasked with finding out all she can on the career of a Forensic Scientist - DNA Analyst.




Can anyone please provide answers to the following:

What does a Forensic Scientist do?

Any other information/Facts that you may feel are relevant to the role of the F/Scientist that could be of help?

Many thanks
