Division/Committee: [YCC] Younger Chemists Committee

The field of chemistry offers unprecedented diversity in its selection of career paths. However, chemistry careers are often broadly described as “industry, academia, government, or non-traditional”. Such a broad description for the plethora of options can be overwhelming to chemists looking to start or change their careers. This symposium will bring the Eastern U.S. Younger Chemists Committee’s award-winning Day in the Life webinar series to its first in-person presentation. The aim of this event is to highlight underrepresented careers in chemistry and provide professionals in these careers the opportunity to share their unique journeys and give insight into what a typical day in their life looks like. Attendees will be introduced to a diverse lineup of speakers from industry, academia, government, and non-traditional chemistry careers. After technical presentations are concluded, an informal networking session will take place to allow the young professionals in attendance the opportunity to engage with these influential scientists.
