Propel Careers Business Area Blogs - Thoughts for your Career Development
Greatness: Chemists, Athletes and everyone in between by Kevin Sprott
Just the other day I was asked by an biotech executive (non-scientific background), who I'll refer to as Rory, 'what makes a chemist good?'. I paused for a moment as I wanted to, a) think about what my answer will be, but also, b) convey the message so Rory would understand what I meant. After a slight pause, I asked Rory if the question was in regard to a synthetic chemist or a medicinal chemist, explaining that they are quite different fields, so 'what makes a chemist good' depends on the role. With a blank look on Rory's face, 'huh?' came out. So here was my blank slate, my opportunity, to teach someone who cares what it is that I do...and I failed to even mention science, read on.
