anonymous	Welcome New Members! April 23, 2007 3:54 PM to Forensic Science! It's great to know that thanks to forensic science, a lot of criminals who thought they had committed the 'perfect crime' are now being punished for their crimes! We would love to hear what piqued your interest in forensics! Please introduce yourselves here! [report anonymous abuse]
Patricia S.	April 24, 2007 12:35 PM Hello; My name is Patty S. I am a Pediatric Nurse. I care for babies and children that have sevee medical problems. Some children are born at 24-25 weeks gestation. The babies almost always are on ventilators that breathe for them. /after the vent, they have trachs n their throats to help them breathe, or to suction secretions from the throat. I love anything about forensics. Before I graduated from nursing school, I had to watch an autopsy.It was amazing to see an organ in a book, then to actually see a heart or lung with your own eyes. I hope I learn alot here with new friends that I will meet. Thank you for this interesting group. This post was modified from its original form on 24 Apr, 12:37 [ send green star]

Susana B.	The mad scientist April 27, 2007 12:23 AM Hi everyone! I am Susana, I graduated in pharma sciences and I really considered getting a job im forensic medicine, but then found that the profession in my country is not so well respected as it is in the states. There are huge problems with lack of funding, lack of working space and no recognition of the work from the overall comunity. Now this opinion is slowly changing as the CSI show started running in Portugal, everyone suddenly found it such an interesting thing and today there is even a university degree called CSI!!! I guess its trendy for the moment... So, I got a PhD in chemistry and am currently working with drug encapsulation, as I could obviously not detach myself from the calling of medicine. But i dont bust criminals, only cancer cells Hope I get time to post here more, its not easy being a busy mad scientist! [ send green star]

Alexandrea W.	Goodmorning May 12, 2007 9:08 AM Goodmorning all...My name is Alexandrea Wayne, most people call me Allie so please feel free to do so. I am a homicide detective and officer for the child exploitation unit in Kentucky. Also I teach classes in forensic science about 8 weeks a year for the University here and it is the most interesting aspect of police work. It is wonderful to get the perps by DNA or some other small evidence left behind. *Thank you Fred for the invite! Its great to be here. For all the mothers out here, Happy Mothers Day. For all the dad's, have a great day too!* *Love & Hugs... Allie* [ send green star]
anonymous	Hi, I am Michael-Linn and May 13, 2007 7:16 AM this area DEFINITELY intrigues me!! I watch all the CSI's and NCIS, Snapped, Forensic Files...anything and everything dealing with the forensic field. So much so, I started worrying my second husband!! I LOVE how you can pick up a cigarette and find out exactly WHO was smoking it, I found out that they can now tell if more than one gun has been in a holster, ect, ect...and they can spring somebody who was wrongly acussed for many years!!! There is SOOO much information in each show, that you learn something new every time you turn on the boob tube!! I am jealous, Allie, as you are doing it!!! Anyway, Thanx, Fred for inviting me!

Brandy R.	June 23, 2007 12:09 AM Hi name is Brandy, I have been interested in Forensic Science for a while now. I used to work as a Security Officer for 8 years and had gotten in forensic science by reading books involving cases like Jack the Ripper and Son of Sam. I hope to learn more from this group and make friends. [ send green star]

Laura H.	July 30, 2007 11:17 AM Hi, my name is Laura. I am a police officer in rural Vermont. One good thing about working for such a small department is that I get to process my own scenes. I got a crash course in evidence collection at my first burglary. [ send green star]

anonymous	New to the group July 30, 2007 5:25 PM Thought I would stop in and say thanks for the invite. My interest in forensic science probably focuses rather narrowly, but a good example of what fascinates me about it was on CSI (as a repeat, or so I was told) tonight. The part about the snake skin I already knew by looking at the image, and I even made a comparison to someone watching it with me to smooth snake skin you might find on more common species. I felt like I was an ornith playing the mimicry game when the woman examining the shedding stated what I had said only moments prior in a similar fashion. Several people I know are simply addicted to the show, but I rarely watch television and spend most of my time making field observations, writing, or with my nose in a book. It seemed rather coincidental I watched it tonight, but, perhaps it was motivated by invitation to this group. One of my fellows from college was majoring in this narrow interest in forensics, so I have a fairly good idea of what she was getting herself into from her own personal experiences. It certainly is an important aspect to this ever-broadening field of the sciences. Personally, I feel it has added some dimension to the study, despite its narrow scope. It tends to have broad implications. Thanks for the invite. =) I hope I can make some sort of contribution in the future, and learn more than I knew before I arrived. [report anonymous abuse]

Tonya T.	October 27, 2007 7:02 PM I am very intrigued by science and especially forensic science. I am currently working as a nurse technician, and when I grow up would love to be a scientist in a forensic lab. I always watch the forensic and medical shows on discovery and court television. Looking forward to hearing what everyone one has up for discussion. [ send green star]
	November 20, 2007 4:57 PM I watch all three CSI television series and find it fascinateing how detectives go about finding things,how they deal with some grotesque things,and wonder what they think when they see these things. They look and think like geniuses. I'd like to know what real CSI is like,if there are any professional websites and books anyone can recommend. [ send green star]
Melissa R.	December 11, 2007 10:21 AM Thank you for the invite Fred. As a retired veterinary tech, I am analytical and science is in my nature. I love science and how it can help everyone in society (close to my biology degree). I still rememebre fondly watching Quincy! hehe [ send green star]

Denise C.	Forensics Intrigues me December 27, 2007 7:41 AM There isn't just one thing I can put my finger on that intrigues me about forensics but I know exactly when my interest was piqued. I went to school many moons ago for a paralegal program. I fell in love with criminal law, unfortunately, I never worked a day in a law office. (too long of a story) I am hooked on shows such as "the first 48", FBI files, Investigative Reports, City Confidential, American Justice, well you get the idea, LOL. I am literally a reality crime show junkie. I look forward to reading up on all that is posted here. [ send green star]
Donna C.	Thanks for the invite Fred January 05, 2008 6:11 PM I have always been interested in forensic science and did spend a year working in a large public mortuary at a major hospital here in the UK. I assisted with the autopsey's and embalming. Every day was exciting because you never knew what you would find we had a lot of murders and suicides and even a ww2 pilot that was pulled out of the ground almost perfectly preserved. When I lived in the US I volunteered for the Trauma Intervention Program, and often found myself being useful at crime scenes, not just in assisting victims emotionally but also the detectives that would arrive on the scene, wish they had that program here! I will enjoy getting to know everyone and sharing info. Have a great New Year everyone. Donna Carraway. [ send green star]

Signe R.	Hello! March 07, 2008 1:16 AM Hey, my name is Signe, I want to be a pre-school teacher or personal assistant. Anyway, I think forensic science is a very interesting subject, though kinda icky. I would never ever want to be a pathologist or something, icky, but it is interesting how analyzing such little tiny things, such as a tiny trace of blood or observing little coincidenses, such as bugs can lead you to the solution of the crime case. I have spent lots of time studying crime cases on my freetime, I am especially interested in cases relating to the African-American civil rights movement, I am very interested in that history. I guess the case that is closest to my heart would be the Scottsboro case, not so much related to science I guess, more kinda related to racism, it is very sad. [ send green star]

Jen K.	new member November 17, 2008 1:19 PM Hi Everyone! I'm just interested in anything having to do with crime. Forensics is especially engrossing. I watch all the police and crime shows that I can, so why not join a group with the same focus?!?! [ send green star]
