Seeing the big picture and a sharp eye for detail
Forensic science deals with the analysis of traces left behind at a crime scene. A forensic scientist reconstructs past events by asking the right forensic questions and by investigating a wide variety of traces such as DNA, digital evidence, fingerprints, and explosives. Applying the latest scientific methods to help solve crimes demands well-educated scientists who are specialists in their own discipline while having knowledge of the forensic context. Therefore, forensic scientists should have a sharp eye for detail without losing sight of the big picture.
