It's been a while new year, hasn't it? I've kind of had some luck letting people try out weapons on the bugs, so it's been great for marketing.
There's a number of labs around the city, I'm sure someone could use a forensic scientist, without a doubt! I've got a workshop out in the forest village, but I lean more towards defense fabrication and bio-engineering, if you ever pick up an interest in that side of science :)
