Definition

The Australian and New Zealand Forensic Science Society, a professional organization for forensic science practitioners and students. It's where the people who watch too much CSI actually learn to do the real work, complete with conferences, networking, and significantly less dramatic lighting.

Example Usage

Joining ANZFSS was the best career move I made—the networking alone landed me three job interviews.

opportunistic

In medicine, describing infections that exploit weakened immune systems like biological vultures circling compromised hosts.

exogenous

Medical and scientific jargon for "it came from outside," used when whatever is affecting you didn't originate from within your own body. It's the fancy way of saying the problem is external rather than your body just randomly deciding to malfunction on its own. Think infections from bacteria, reactions to medications, or basically anything your body didn't cook up internally.
