Live Chat with Dr. Melinda Merck
Hi Dr. Merck,
I'm a great fan of your profession, but the details of what you do are still kind of a mystery to me. How can I explain to elementary aged kids what you do?
Thank you!

Evidence associated with any crime has to be analyzed and interpreted in the the proper context. In order to properly identify evidence, analyze it and interpret the findings, you have to know animals and animal behavior. This is what I do and what I bring to a crime scene. I am an animal expert investigating crimes against animals - I conduct crime scene investigation and then the examination of the victim which is the animal. And then I work with investigators and prosecutors to develop the case and bring it to court. Hopefully you can adjust that to use for them! Also, FYI - the ASPCA has Humane Education material to use for elementary and older school children.
