  • I made a video about a dead fish and ask some serious questions as to how it died.

  • @RaineyWM I think you have to take Calculus and a Statistics course during college, you might also have to have a major in Chemistry or Biology in order to take forensic science as a course for college.

  • what about the career progress, what level of experience required in order to be in charge of a research lab instead of doing routine analysis in the lab?

  • Do you have to take any specific classes in High school?

  • what science courses and math courses do you have to take?

  • Great information! Thanks!

  • @OnIxXxInO 4 year chemistry degree is good enough in most cases.
