Love Seeing Things React? Find Out About Scientists and Engineers Who Use Chemistry

You know that chemists use chemistry—but they aren't the only ones that mix things up and use the power of reactions to create things. Check out some of these other chemistry powered careers:

Food scientists at University of Manitoba researching bubbles in bread dough.
Food scientists use their chemistry knowledge to create new flavors, give foods fun textures, and invent yummy treats.
Materials scientist at U.S. Army Research laboratory experimenting to develop better batteries.
Materials scientists use chemical reactions to create totally new materials or improve existing ones. Like making glass that won't shatter.
Female pharmacist examining shelves of medications.
Pharmacists help people heal and keep them safe by making sure medicines they take don't have bad chemical interactions.
forensic science technician analyzing samples
Forensic scientists use chemistry to identify evidence like chips of paint and drops of liquid left at crime scenes.
