Summary This book emerged from shared interests and conversations over many years between former Ph. D. chemists, now leaders in science policy and industry who all share a commitment to public service. While the training of Ph. D. chemists is generally targeted at a research career, the opportunities that lie beyond the degree are much more diverse. Nine Ph. D. chemists who chose careers outside of academia describe their career choices and reflect on advice they have looking back on their career path for those just starting theirs
