He offers advice to others considering the same path, warning that the work is intensive. He focuses on microbiology, that being his specialty, but his experience should apply to most any biomedical scientist. 606 $aEvidence, Expert 606 $aMedical jurisprudence 606 $aMedical microbiology 615 0$aEvidence, Expert. 615 0$aMedical jurisprudence. 615 0$aMedical microbiology. 676 $a347.7367 700 $aEllner$b Paul D.$01716235 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910830989103321 996 $aThe Biomedical Scientist as Expert Witness$94111442 997 $aUNINA
