Forensic Science is the application of science to law. Forensic Science and the Crime Laboratory’s role in a criminal investigation have been significantly greater due to advances in scientific methods and technology! In my presentation, I will share my path to a career in Forensic Science and will also discuss the various sections of the Santa Clara County District Attorney Crime Laboratory to provide an overview of how science is used to solve crimes and exonerate the innocent.
