While at the annual careers college event, hosted by Weymouth College, we interviewed some Year Nine forensic science students. Evie Rawlings, 14, spoke of inspiration from CSI, when asked about choosing the course.

“I was inspired to do the course from watching CSI on the TV, and thinking how fun it looked.”

The students were attempting to identify blood samples, to help them find stolen Wimbledon final tickets. A difficult task, but one they certainly enjoyed.
