Question 1: Who is known as the "Mother of Forensic Science"?

Frances Glessner Lee is considered the "Mother of Forensic Science" for her pioneering work which included the creation of the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death, a series of miniature crime scene models used for forensic training.

Question 2: If you visit a "ryokan" during your trip to Japan, what kind of establishment are you staying at?

Question 3: Why did Ernest Hemingway title his book "The Sun Also Rises"?

The title "The Sun Also Rises" is taken from Ecclesiastes 1:5 in the Bible, which reads: "The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose."
