Chemist

Chemistry has many different career paths and chemists specialise in a diverse range of different areas. Chemistry is a science that deals with the properties, composition, structure of elements and compounds, thereby; chemists use this information to develop new materials and substances. There are a number of career paths in chemistry such as biochemistry, industrial chemistry, electrochemistry, polymer chemistry and much more. While all the other field names speak for themselves, industrial chemistry deals with the large-scale processing of chemicals and chemical products for industrial and consumer uses. Industrial chemistry plays a vital role as an applied science in areas that influence today’s society and environment both positively and…

Forensic chemistry is a type of chemistry that is found in association with the solving of crimes or murders. Forensic chemists analyze and examine things left at a murder or a crime scene such as blood, fingerprints, hair, or anything with traces of human DNA that could be linked to the individual who may have been responsible for the crime. Forensic chemists use science to bring many killers and criminals to justice. There are a few educational requirements needed to enter the field…

If I had to choose a career today, I would be a chemist. This process was kind of a “stress test” to help me decide on a career. During the process, I had changed my mind about becoming a nurse. Instead I had decided that my dream job was working as a chemist, in the chemical manufacturing industry. I also had to do some mental wrestling with my own thoughts as I ventured through the process of finding my dream job. Progressing further, I looked at what they do, what education and credentials…

1) What is the first and last name of the incumbent, and what is their official title? (e.g. Assistant Director John Smith) Constance Ewing, Analytical Chemist II 2) How did you identify the incumbent? Constance Ewing also has a hairstyling and cosmetic business which operates on the weekends. She does this out of her home three days per week from 4:30 pm on after. 3) Why did you choose this person? I chose this person because I do not know her at all, in which it will be beneficial for…

1.) did some research on what a chemist does, what the work environment is like, what education is required, what skills you need to be successful, how much they are paid, and what a typical day in the career is like. According to O*NET OnLine, the Strong Interest Inventory letters are IRC. This makes sense because chemistry is a true science that requires a very investigative approach. Chemists analyze data and reactions. They make new discoveries and changes. This is a realistic career…

It is without restriction that Williams introduces us to the exhibitions of George the Chemist and Jim the Botanist. The first, George, has seems to have it all; a wife, children, and a PhD in chemistry. However, he is not in good health and, thus, it is rather difficult for George to acquire a job. So, then, his dear wife must support the entire family by working. This, of course, develops strain not only on the wife and George, but on the children as well. It is not long after that these…

PRINT YOUR OWN MEDICINE Chemist Lee Cronin is a professor of chemistry and nanoscience and chemical complexity. He founded the Cronin group who is focused on complex functional molecular architectures that are not based on biologically derived building blocks. Cronin’s idea is to “app” chemistry and by this he means making a “really cool universal chemistry set”. He speaks with confidence to a mature audience that has an interest in the future of chemistry and medicine and those who create or…

The atom is the smallest unit of matter. The name “atom” comes from the Greek word atomos, which means “uncuttable.” Atomic theory states that all matter is made up of these small particles, and that these atoms, and the matter made from them, cannot be created nor destroyed, merely reshaped and reformed. Modern chemistry unofficially began in the eighteenth century. French scientist Antoine Lavoisier discovered the law of the conservation of mass c. 1785. This law states that “The total mass…

What knowledge exactly? In order to call yourself a Cosmetic Chemist, you must have an advanced degree in science, no lower than a bachelors. By a degree in science, you are limited to an applied science that involves several labs in order to pass the course; such as, microbiology, chemical engineering, physics, biology, chemistry, and pharmaceutical science. “A master’s degree program in Cosmetic Science includes courses in applied chemistry, dermal pharmacology, cosmetic formulation…

What is a chemist? A chemist is a scientist that studies, physical and chemical properties of different forms of matter. There are two profound chemist whose findings were crucial to today's understanding of chemistry. There names were Marie Curie and Dimitri Mendeleev, both chemist made significant impacts on modern day science and society. Dmitri Mendeleev is responsible for the creation of the periodic table, while Marie Curie is responsible for discovering radioactivity, which advanced the…
