Forensics Memes

The secret identity of forensic chemistry is... analytical chemistry with a crime scene badge. Classic laboratory identity crisis. Forensic chemists are just analytical chemists who got tired of analyzing boring industrial samples and decided dead bodies and crime scenes were more interesting career paths. Their methods are nearly identical—they're both wielding those test tubes like scientific detectives—but one gets invited to murder investigations while the other gets stuck testing water quality. No wonder forensic chemistry wants to keep the mask on. The pay differential alone is worth maintaining the disguise.

Chemistry labs are basically "traces of chemicals" everywhere! That's like arresting a fish for being wet. The glowing skeleton dude is every organic chem student realizing that finding "traces of chemicals used in meth production" in a chemistry department is about as specific as finding "traces of oxygen" in the atmosphere. Methylamine? Pseudoephedrine? Literally thousands of compounds could qualify! Next headline: "Baking professors suspected of making bombs after traces of flour found in kitchen."
