If you want to be an anthropologist, you need to study physical anthropology specialized in bones. If you want to be a forensic chemist, get a degree in chemistry. Do you want to do DNA work? Get a degree in microbiology. And do well. Study hard and go to graduate school.
From Kathy Reichs
Bones tell me the story of a person's life - how old they were, what their gender was, their ancestral background.
I'm not writing great literature. I'm writing commercial fiction for people to enjoy the stories and to like the characters.
Many fiction writers who put the science in don't get it right.
At first I probably seem very abrupt, but I like efficiency. There's work and there's play, and I always think: 'Let's get the work over with so we can thoroughly enjoy the play.'
I work with the dead, but I am working for the living.
My first book was the most successful debut novel in the U.K. ever and every one of my books has reached number one in the U.K. Clearly the British know brilliance when they see it.
I was a university professor, I could talk on and on and on. Give me a podium and you have to drag me off with a hook.
I do interviews and signings and readings and all of these people just hang off my every word. And then I go home and have dinner with my family and nobody lets me get a word in.
I originally worked as an archaeologist in North Carolina, and when bones were found police would take them out to the bones lady at the university, and that was me.
