Las Lomas Forensic Science |
Welcome to the Forensic Science home page. Your journey this year will be one that I think is enjoyable but at the same time stretch your academic and intellectual abilities. Analytical Forensic Science is a field that has been thrust en vogue lately but has been used in the solving of crimes for centuries. It is a world beyond the glamour of the TV version CSI where real people become the stars of true drama in solving often heinous crimes against society. Whether this class takes you into a career in a branch of Forensics or just strengthens your analytical abilities I hope you extend the effort to get as much out of the class as possible. |
