Forensic Science and Biological Science personal statement DRAFT The application of how scientific investigations are used to uphold the law has fascinated me into the Forensic Science field. Throughout my years of studying science and learning how different means and approaches are widely used in order to solve crimes, I have realised that science is an essential part of life as it applies to almost every scenario especially in the event of finding answers to questions related to legal situations
find other branches about this profession. Forensic pathology is a subspecialty that investigates the causes of death. Also known as medical examiners, forensic pathologists work in the offices of coroners to determine how and when the deceased died. Consequently, forensic pathologists often collaborate with police officers to provide evidence in cases where the homicide or accident causes death. Function One of the primary responsibilities of forensic pathologists are conduct autopsies on the medical
Throughout school I have enjoyed humanities and science, especially History and the biological structure and function of the human body. My fascination with the anatomy of the human body has led to my interest in forensic cases like John Wayne Gacy and “Zoo man” Huskey. Though the crimes which they committed were thought-provoking, it was the way the crimes were solved by teams of forensic anthropologists which really captivated me. The anthropologists who worked on John Gacy’s case were able to
Forensic Science is formed of many branches that aim to benefit the medicolegal system. One such branch is forensic anthropology, a multidisciplinary field that is on the rise. Forensic anthropology is the study of skeletal remains and can be used to gain insight into the circumstances surrounding a death or identify the living, to be used in a legal setting. This includes “identification and detection of signs of trauma which may lead to establish cause and manner of death” (Cattaneo). Typically
MEDICAL LABORATORY SCIENCE AS A CAREER Introduction to medical lab science I s a study of field that conducts research in a laboratory setting using living organism for experiments. It is a Pathological based health care profession who perform tests to diagnose diseases using body fluid such as blood, sputum, urine etc. What kind of job is done by medical scientists? A qualified Medical Laboratory Scientist plays an important role in providing vital information about patient’s health. They work
defined in several ways. The most relevant definition is the application of scientific and engineering principle to the processing of material by biological agents to provide goods and services useful to human and human welfare. It is defined as a science which involves cell biology, microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, Genetic Engineering, Tissue culture, Bioprocess, Bio-informatics, Nanotechnology etc. Any technique that use living organisms as substances from which organisms can be made
Forensic science (blood spatter and bullet trajectory) Crime scene reconstruction often involves the examination of blood spatter which may help to determine how the crime occurred. The angle of impact (angle at which the bloodstain hit the floor), point of convergence and point of origin (the point from where the blood left the body) all need to be discovered and hence the position of the body of the victim when the incident occurred can be worked out. The force of the impact on the body determines
are involved in crimes like homicidal, accidental, suicidal death. Many deaths occur as a result of poisoning when the poison level is reached above the lethal dose, where as a person survives if the level is below the lethal dose. In such cases, Forensic Clinical Toxicologist plays an important role of detecting the nature of poisons or drugs immediately and informs the doctor who administrates the anti-doded. *Classification Of Poisons: Classification of poisons can be
Science Book Report Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, by Mary Roach covers the broad topic of cadavers. Instead of focusing on the loss and sadness of death, the book instead talks about how the dead can be used, and how cadavers contribute the the scientific community . This book goes over many interesting topics about cadavers, Roach ventures from the more tolerable subjects such as history and origin of cadavers, to the outright disgusting topics of cannibalistic techniques and rotting
