My biology guy would have probably asked for a serious sit down with her to see if she understood the topic - because we DID have word limits and they didn't tolerate repetitive waffling all that much. Really, if it looks tl;dr, they won't read it.
Another major part of my outrage at LKH's "I have a biology degree!" is that...she...doesn't...seem...to...use it in regard to biological things - like crime scenes. Sorry, but jawbones are either the mandible or maxilla, you have dorsal or ventral injuries etc. I had it drilled into me that you do not dumb it down because you look like an utter idiot. Doubly so if you're a woman, sad but true. Science is still a boys' club, and we have to work hard to be taken seriously, so not using the correct vocabulary is doing yourself more harm than good.
That she used a tapemeasure instead of calipers or proper measuring devices just makes me screeeaaam.
Then again, I'm picky about CSI stuff too because I have lab experience. What they do might look swanky and cool to the rest of the world, but I can sit there and spot all the errors in procedure. One of my friends is nearly the same but about fire extinguishers because she works in her father's fire safety business.
