Overview
In the past, the FTCOE has released written interviews with forensic practitioners in various stages of their career and working in various forensic disciplines. This year, we created a video comprised of multiple interviews with forensic practitioners from seasoned subject matter experts to young professionals early in their career. These interviews provide helpful tips for anyone looking for ways to advance or adapt their career at any stage. Check out the montage and spotlight videos below for words of wisdom, fun facts, and hopes for the future of forensic science from those actively engaged in the community.
