What skills would you need to be a forensic scientist?
Forensics is the development of an articulable argument. There are forensic scientists (such as Forensic Industrial Hygienists), forensic psychologists, forensic plumbers, forensic engineers, forensic doctors, etc.
Essentially any profession or craft may have a situation wherein an argument or position must be developed to promote a particular idea, frequently before the "Trier of Fact" (a court, tribunal or council).
Many forensic scientists (such as Forensic Industrial Hygienists) are hired specifically to solve problems, or analyze situations to understand cause and effect. Therefore, their skill sets usually focus on analytical thought, abstract thought, imagination, resourcefulness, and parallel thinking - all of this must then be brought together with an highly developed skill of communication.

Forensic analysis of an auto accident?
Accident reconstructionists are employed to conduct in-depth collision analysis and reconstruction to identify the collision causation and contributing factors in different types of collisions, including the role of the driver(s), vehicle(s), roadway and the environment. The laws of physics and engineering principles such as the conservation of linear momentum, work-energy methods, and kinematics are the basis for these analysis and may make use of software to calculate useful quantities. The accident reconstruction provides rigorous analysis that an expert witnesses can present at trial. Accident reconstructions are done in cases involving fatalities, and often when personal injury is involved.
