Industry Insights: Environmental Health and Safety (EHS): my scientific adventurous route. By Denise Aronson, President, Safety Partners, Inc.
This blog is part of a series of blogs called Industry Insights that are written by the Industry Experts in the Life Sciences Area. These blogs will share insights into the life sciences industry and career paths.
Why would someone, especially a chemist or biologist, want to get into the EHS field? Believe it or not, there are bench scientists who may really enjoy EHS work. I am currently the President of Safety Partners, Inc. Let me tell you about the adventurous route I took to get here. I'm a biochemist, BS biochemistry from University of New Hampshire. Like many college grads from UNH, I landed my first job in Boston, and like many science majors, I ended up in an academic lab working at the bench.
Denise will be a panelist at tomorrow's FILS event - we look forward to hearing more about her career path then!
