Forensic Chemist


Ragudo: "A forensic chemist is in general somebody who analyzes evidence that's brought in from crime scenes or whenever a crime is committed and determines a conclusion from the tests they run on that piece of evidence. You have something that's an unknown substance like we have in drug chemistry and you're determining what it is. You're trying to help put pieces together to see if a crime actually occurred."
