Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Forensic Science/ Crime Laboratory Analyst
For my science fair we had to choose what type of science career that we would be interested in doing when we get older. I chose to be a Crime Laboratory Analyst. For the second part of our project we have to come up with an invention or an experiment in this field. Does anybody have any ideas on this topic?
