Chemistry Careers in Louisiana

Physical details: 8.5" x 11", 111 pages, spiral bound.

Why Chemistry? And why YOU? Because chemistry affects ALL aspects of human life. Therefore, chemists are involved in studying, improving, and making new discoveries that impact ALL areas and walks of life. Chemists want to create things and solve problems. They are curious people who have "investigative" personalities. And while they are keen observers who work logically and rationally in solving problems or creating products, they are also imaginative people who use creative thinking in seeing patterns and tracking down answers. They are team players and good communicators; chemists are comfortable with change and doggedly pursue problems and riddles. And they are not discouraged by "failure". After all, there are no real failures in science. All results teach something!!
