How would a forensic scientist write a good personal statement to get into graduate school?
Question by Avalon: How would a forensic scientist write a good personal statement to get into graduate school?
I mean someone who wants to be a forensic scientist. I ask this because recently Yahoo! had an article about careers best for introverts- people who like to work alone, basically, so are there any good examples of Personal Statement essays, that an introvert would submit to medical school/graduate school for forensic science or to become a doctor. I need to see example essays an introvert would write, versus an essay that an extrovert would make which is easier to write.

If you need “Homework Help” I suggest you re-post there – otherwise, I’d suggest that university students are supposed to be doing their own homework.
Otherwise – In my country they have this wonderful reference resource called Google, and it works great for making elementary Internet searches so as to keep from making inane or generalized queries. You should try it.

What Would Alien Anthropologists Think of Us? – Wade Davis
Complete video at: fora.tv Wade Davis, author of The Wayfinders: Why Ancient Wisdom Matters in the Modern World, criticizes the United States for viewing technological prowess as the only sign of progress. “Climate change should finally teach us that we’re not the paragon of humanity’s potential,” he says. —– What does it mean to be human and alive? The thousands of different cultures and languages on Earth have compellingly different answers to that question. “We are a wildly imaginative and creative species,” declares Wade Davis, and then proves it with his accounts and photographs of humanity plumbing the soul of culture, of psyche, and of landscape. The threat to cultures is often ideological, Davis notes, such as when Mao whispered in the ear of the Dalai Lama that “all religion is poison,” set about destroying Tibetan culture. The genius of culture is the ability to survive in impossible conditions, Davis concludes. We cannot afford to lose any of that variety of skills, because we are not only impoverished without it, we are vulnerable without it. – The Long Now Foundation Edmund Wade Davis (born December 14, 1953) is a noted Canadian anthropologist, ethnobotanist, author and photographer whose work has focused on worldwide indigenous cultures, especially in North and South America and particularly involving the traditional uses and beliefs associated with psychoactive plants. Davis came to prominence with his 1985 best-selling book The Serpent and the Rainbow …

Would anthropology be a good major for me?
Question by Mathew: Would anthropology be a good major for me?
I’ve been interested in the field of anthropology (specifically cultural) for years. I am fascinated with different cultures and languages. However, I tend to be very shy, and I have a bit of social anxiety. Is anthropology a field better suited for people with better social skills?
Best answer:
Answer by Todd
Anthropologists usually do research and teach. The research end doesn’t really involve a great deal of social interaction, but it is required. Any job today is gonna require a decent amount of social interaction, and sadly, is something you’re going to have to overcome someday. Through your college career, you will most likely get over this to a degree. If you’re interested in the field, pursue it! It’s the only way you’re going to find out if it’s a good major for you.

Answer by AndyF
there are many fields of anthropology (applied, biological, cultural, economic, linguistic and more) so you need a school that teaches what you want.
Forensic anthro. is part of physical anthro. Use the word “legal” in place of “forensic” as the FA works on cases to identify cause of death and identity in legal cases. This could be on a case to case basis or mass deaths (tsunami or homicides such as Bosnia, Iraq and Darfur ethnic cleansing and mass graves).
You will also need archeological training to do field work. Proper removal of remains in the context they are found is important. If you can do it all, removal, identify, and cause of death so much the better for you and the cases you work on.
And, you will need at least a Masters Degree to find a position. It is a tough road that only a very dedicated person can travel. But it is well worth it.

If I want to become a Police Officer, would it be good to get a Degree in Forensic Science or is Getting a deg?
Question by Ross: If I want to become a Police Officer, would it be good to get a Degree in Forensic Science or is Getting a deg?
If I want to become a Police Officer, would it be good idea to get a Degree in Forensic Science or does Getting a degree in Forensic Science not even have anything to do with being a Police Officer. Would it be better to get a degree in History or Psychology or something?(The College I’m at doesn’t have a Criminal Justice Program)
Best answer:
Answer by ranger_co_1_75
Anything you need to know about being a police officer will be taught by the police department you get hired to work for, or by the states police officer training school you will be required to attend after being hired.
If you want to succeed in police work, get your degree in business management. The people who become administrators of police department (or Chief’s) are the people who know how to budget, find grants, present programs to governing bodies (city councils, county government, state budget committees) and to research and develop latest training techniques and equipment for the police dept. That is the administrations job, find the funding for the department and provide the tools and programs necessary for the department to function.

What classes would i need to take for a forensic science degree?
Question by soxguy96: What classes would i need to take for a forensic science degree?
Best answer:
Answer by Sandra
A forensic science degree would require classes in biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, physical anthropology and physics… those are the foundation classes, but then you’d also have labs where you studied evidence collection, processing, analysis, etc. and you could dive even deeper into topics such as toxicology, document examination, firearms, fingerprinting…
Hope that helps – good luck!

Anthropology Dissertation: in which areas/topics would you like to see more research done?
Anthropology Dissertation: in which areas/topics would you like to see more research done?
Hello All Dissertation Students,
I am in the process of finding out a topic for a anthropology dissertation , more specifically in forensic anthropology. Although I am quite sure what I want to do, I am interested in having views of others in the fields, and where they think research is lacking. With a bit of luck, my ideas will be amongst the areas suggested!
I am particularly interested in your thoughts on the fields of forensic anthropology, bioarchaeology, and human osteology to write my social anthropology dissertation. Not so much paleoanthropology (unless it is about AMHs, and then perhaps it might be of use).
As for the research on sexing/ageing…I do think it is imperative to keep trying out the methods and finding methods for isolated bones. This can help keep the methods fresh and constantly make improvements to them. Also, the isolated bone methods can be of use in trying to recognize unidentified remains or help un-mix commingled remains.
That being said, I still don’t really want to do that for a dissertation topic. Like you said, not very original.
That is why I am trying to see if others have noticed areas missing needed information. I have been doing literature reviews (especially Journal of Forensic Sciences and American Journal of Physical Anthro. to find topics I feel need more information, but sometimes others see things that a person can miss on their own.
Do you have any specific areas that you’ve noticed?
]]>
The response to my question I received is as follows:
Response:
Often times dissertations are based on improvements to or gaps in research already conducted. While it may get your degree, this is safe…and boring. Unfortunately, a lot of the research that can be conducted in forensic anthropology is this sort of improvement-based research. I’ve read numerous papers, theses, etc. on new (and obscure) ways to age, sex, etc. a skeleton. This stuff can already be done. I don’t care if the sphenoid can be used in age determination (which I don’t think it can, but you get the point).
I suggest that you sit down, pretend that you are a child and ponder the mysteries of the field. Find something that’s hardly been touched…or think of new ways to interpret things. My adviser once told me that what he likes most about new students is that they haven’t been corrupted by the field. If you can find a topic that you’re really passionate about it will make the research so much easier.
I’d like more research on various indigenous agricultural technologies, including Egyptian use of the Nile River delta and examples of relatively high standards of living which complemented the natural world.
Also, I would like more emphasis in proper representation of the physical features of ancient civilizations. For example, no more white Egyptians or white Jesus.
Finally, I am interested in variable diets of indigenous people and the effects of such diets on their physical bodies… for example, did some people have better eyesight than others? or did some people have fewer diseases than others?… all of which relating to diet, of course. I hope this will help in writing anthropology dissertations.

Q&A: Would an Associate of Arts degree in Forensic Science be a good precursor to a major in Forensic Anthropology?
Question by NoahArkStorm: Would an Associate of Arts degree in Forensic Science be a good precursor to a major in Forensic Anthropology?
I’m going to a community college to earn an Associate of Arts degree in Forensic Science. Afterwards, I plan on transfering to the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and work towards a Ph.D in forensic anthropology. Is forensic science a good way to start?
Best answer:
Answer by TaK
Yes a Forensic Science degree would be a good start. Make sure you take as much anthropology as you can while at CC. You are still going to need a BA in Anthropology so you may want to focus more on courses that will transfer to the university BA program. Although it is good to start looking for your specialty in anthropology early it is not necessary to concentrate on it before you go to graduate school. After studying you may prefer a different branch like archaeology or cultural anthro.
