One of our ACS Career Consultants, Bill Carroll, has some thoughts on how to handle a boss who plays favorites – particularly when you don’t fall into the favorite's camp.
DuPont’s Christine McInnis shares many reflections on her career to-date. They include her thoughts on how the lines between industry and academia are blurring, some important learnings from her two internships, a very practical motivation for her volunteer work, and what she did to earn her Girl Scout Gold Award.
An early career chemist, Eugenia Narh Baawuo of DeWolf Chemical, explains how her career in cosmetic chemistry/personal care has evolved, and how her choice of mentors has evolved along with it.
Frankie Wood-Black, in keeping with the season, has some safety-related New Year’s resolutions to share with you.
To wrap things up, for those interested in transitioning from the bench into some other role, Christina Bodurow, Vice President, Global Regulatory Affairs, Data Sciences, Safety & Regulatory, IQVIA, advises to think about credentials you may need to obtain to secure the desired position.
