\begin{abstract}
Hi Reddit, I have been a forensic scientist for 30 years and times have
really changed, but the purpose of forensic science has remained
constant: to apply science to matters of the law. Our company,
www.nfstc.org, trains the professionals in all kinds of disciplines from
crime scene investigation techniques to DNA analysis to field chemistry.
Sometimes new technology is best for the case, but sometimes the tried
and true methods are the best. We have developed lots of resources for
non-scientists like www.forensicsciencesimplified.org and even online
training programs anyone can take
(https://www.nfstc.org/service/forensics-training/). I get lots of
questions about forensic science from the pros and from people who have
seen shows on TV, and would love to hear your questions, too. I will be
back at 2 pm ET to answer your questions, ask me anything! Edit: fixed
URL Edit: Okay, we're ready to roll!! I'm going to get started on all
your great questions. Edit: That's it for me now. Sorry we ran out of
time but thanks for all your great questions.%
