Have you ever dreamed of becoming a forensic biologist? Modern television programs like Crime Scene Investigation, or CSI, would have us believe it’s a somewhat glamorous profession, full of exciting dilemmas to solve with immensely satisfying results. But those working in the field would speak of something different.
