To be a forensic scientist a minimum of a bachelor's degree in natural science or forensic science is required. Some labs may require a master's degree in forensic science for more advanced positions, such as lab technician leader or supervisor. A master's degree might also be useful for specialized areas, such as DNA analysis.  Undergraduate programs include biochemistry, toxicology and criminal justice courses. Students have to participate in a lot of lab work and an internship. Some specializations of forensic science may require different certifications.

Forensic Chemistry is applying chemistry in a legal setting. A forensic chemist can help analyze and identify unknown substances that may be vital evidence in a crime scene by using a wide range of methods and tools. They can also make court room appearances as they can count as a reliable witness to solving the crime.

A famous Forensic chemist: AKA "The Father of Toxicology"

# data[].attributes.body
In 1836, one of the first major contributions to forensic chemistry was introduced by British chemist James Marsh. He created the Marsh Test for arsenic detection, which was subsequently used successfully in a murder trial. He pioneered one of the first innovation in forensic science and is therefore known as the father of toxicology.
