- [Voiceover] Have you ever wondered what a chemist really does? In this series we asked people
with chemistry backgrounds to share their stories. We have people from all
different fields and careers. For example, we have
an interview of someone who works in forensics, which is closely related
to analytical chemistry. We also have people from the field of science illustration and medicine. Since if you've ever
thought about being pre-med, or doing anything else
related to medicine, you probably know by now
that you'll be taking a fair number of chemistry classes. We have someone who works
in industry as a researcher developing new products. We also have someone who
works as a programmer at Khan Academy actually. We have a bunch of other
interviews for careers where it was a little
harder to find pictures, but they're all really cool jobs. We have fields that are covered include patent law and science media, which includes things
like making and producing and hosting science TV shows. We have an engineer who was not a chemistry major but had to take some chemistry classes, and ended up using chemistry in her job. We have an epidemiologist, which is a really hard
word to spell, miologist. It's also a really
interesting career, and more. We hope to continue
adding to this collection of interviews over time,
so please check back. But hopefully you can tell from this list that all of these people
who studied chemistry are doing a lot of different things. So there's a lot of ways
you can use chemistry as part of your career after school. We hope you find these interviews
interesting and helpful in figuring out what you
might want to do as a career.
