I don't care if this trend was from last year

! just a friendly reminder to look after yourself !

I am officially caught up in forensics and have 4 hours before my practical starts and I cannot focus for the life of me. I really need to study human anatomy but my brain cannot handle anymore information.

I thought I’d show off todays plans too

I mentioned writing my paper on crime reduction about hate crimes against trans people to my lecturer because I obviously think about it all the time and he said none of his students have ever written a paper focused on trans people and that he'd be excited to read it

Great and all but finding enough references is going to be a nightmare, it's so niche and so under researched that my usual ~10 for a 1500 word report is going to be a stretch

Proves that it's even more necessary though

A light breakfast before the gym and some studying.

I worked on some notes for my cognitive psychology and research methods class.

For some reason people seemed to enjoy my little fly guys, so I decided to share them. They're nothing special, just a sketchbook study--but they're good beans.

Modern day Luffy would be an entomologist. He told his school counselor he wanted to look at bugs for a living and they signed him up for all the science classes. Somehow he’s made his way to being one of the top entomologists in the world

Just finished TAFE and am doing a catch-up session in the library for my forensics practical tomorrow.

I am tired and really want to just go home and relax but I keep putting off studying and need to make up for it.

Upon first glance, one might mistake the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death for an innocent child's plaything. However, a closer inspection reveals something far more sinister. These intricate dollhouses, created by Frances Glessner Lee, depict anything but happy families. 

The series consists of eighteen dollhouses, each designed to aid in the solving of unsolved murders at a time when forensic science was virtually non-existent. Frances would attend crime scenes and autopsies to create accurate and detailed miniature crime scenes, complete with blood spatter, furniture placement, and other subtle clues that could be used to solve the crimes.

they should let me have unlimited college majors. and it should cost me zero dollars and zero cents

Slept in today before having some breakfast and coffee in bed. Recently started reading Cases in Clinical Forensic Psychology by Margo C. Watt.

In the afternoon I went to the gym and had lunch before doing some notes for my research methods class.

## What’s a Cyber Forensic Investigator?

Master post - part 1 • part 2

You must have heard bout forensics yk investigating bout dead people who might have been killed and all

You must have seen shows on those topics too.Cyber forensic investigator is just of same kind but investigating through all types of modern gadgets.

Catching hackers and all but cooler

### The Money Talk: How Much Do They Make?

- **Cash Money**: Expect to rake in about $60k to $120k a year. If you are very much experienced and skilled then you can expect about 150k+ a year.(obv different countries and companies may have different wages)

### Companies That Want You

- **Tech Titans**: Google, Amazon, Facebook—they all have requirement for such heroes

- **Gov Jobs**: FBI, CIA—basically every spy agency wants you.

- **Cybersecurity Firms**: CrowdStrike, McAfee—so every gateway you go you gonna have opportunities everywhere.

### What Other Forensic Investigators Are There?

- **Forensic Pathologists**: Real-life detectives who figure out how someone died. Less tech, more science.

- **DNA Analysts**: The ones matching DNA samples

- **Forensic Accountants**: Following the money to catch fraudsters and scammers

- **Toxicologists**: Poison experts, figuring out if someone’s been covertly poisoned. (Yeaa yk snow white story)

### What’s the Work Environment Like?

- **The Lab**: Imagine a room filled with more screens than your gaming setup. Gadgets galore, maybe even a Red Bull or two

- **On the Move**: Sometimes you’re out in the field, collecting evidence. Think of it like collecting rare items in a game.

- **Remote Vibes**: You could be solving cybercrimes from your bed in your PJs .

### How Long Does It Take to Become One?

- **Time Investment**: About 4 years for a bachelor’s, and then 1-2 more years for a master’s if you’re going all-in. So, 5-6 years total. But hey, good things take time, right?

### What Do You Study?

- **Cybersecurity/Computer Science**: Your main jams. Think of them as the ultimate cheat codes for this career.

- **Digital Forensics**: Specialized courses where you learn to be a digital ninja.

- **Law and Ethics**: Learning how to catch the bad guys without breaking the law yourself. (You yourself don't want to be troubled obviously)

### Subjects You Need to Get Into It

- **Math**: Yep, but not the boring kind—more like coding and algorithms.

- **Computer Science**: Your go-to for everything techy.

- **Optional Nerd Points**: Chemistry/Physics if you’re into hardware forensics or just want to flex those brain muscles.

### Work Hours: What to Expect?

- **9 to 5-ish**: Standard hours if you’re working for a company, but expect some late nights or weekend shifts when big cases pop up.

- **On-Call Madness**: Sometimes you’re on-call like a digital firefighter. Cyber-attack at 3 AM? Time to suit up (or log in) and handle it.

- **Flexible/Remote**: If you’re lucky, you can work from home. Just remember, no solving crimes in your underwear during Zoom meetings!

### Interview with a Cyber Forensic Investigator

**Interviewer**: What’s a day in the life of a cyber forensic investigator?

**Cyber Sleuth**: Imagine rolling out of bed, grabbing your coffee, and diving into cases. I’m talking analyzing hard drives, sifting through emails, or tracking down cyberattack origins. Some days it’s all data, other days I’m working with law enforcement or testifying in court. Never a dull moment!

**Interviewer**: What’s the coolest case you’ve worked on?

**Cyber Sleuth**: Helping bust a phishing ring that was scamming millions. Tracked their digital footprints, caught the culprits, and recovered their loot. Felt like a total legend.

**Interviewer**: Ever seen some dark stuff, like murders?

*Cyber Sleuth**: Yeah, I’ve stumbled across some pretty grim stuff. It’s not all memes and malware—sometimes it’s serious business. But catching those bad guys makes it all worth it.

**Interviewer**: Have you ever been on the dark web?

**Cyber Sleuth**: Oh, for sure. It’s like the sketchy underbelly of the internet. Lots of shady deals. I go there when I need to, but it’s not a fun hangout spot.

**Interviewer**: How dark can a case get?

**Cyber Sleuth**: It can get really intense. I’ve worked on cases involving human trafficking and other serious crimes. It’s tough, but making a difference makes it worth it.

**Interviewer**: Any advice for someone who wants to get into this field?

**Cyber Sleuth**: Stay curious and keep learning. Tech evolves fast, so you’ve gotta keep up. And don’t be afraid to dig deep—sometimes the answers are buried in tons of data, but finding them is like hitting gold.

So if you’re into tech and have subjects like mathematics , chemistry and physics then you are all set to start your journey.i have seen ppl running for a common a job and all and they are not even specified about what they want. So just research and find out what you want.

My favorite reads while I was studying for my forensic science degree 📚

[lovesickrobotic]

no one understands like you do my desire to kiss glados!

Pressing an affectionate kiss against her camera evokes a feeling in GLaDOS that is close to the feeling she gets when she tests and you win. It's a... little different, but she figures it's the influence of Caroline making her feel happiness from contact, some passing vestige of humanity that finds itself translated well enough into input and output states. Admittedly, despite deep forensic analysis of her own active memory, she cannot find exactly where this feeling began so that she can end it.

It's because she's wrong. GLaDOS likes your personal touch because she likes you - it would be as much there if Caroline's brain weren't integrated into her.

She always responds to your kisses in some way: she keeps the cameras still, stops in the middle of a sentence and resumes with a much softer tone... she averts them from your gaze as if to bare a cheek to kiss, and sometimes her lens responds by constricting slightly because of the undeniable swell of reward you seem to deliver.

You're such an interesting feature.
