Younger Chemists
We are here to advance the soft skills of chemists as they begin their career, and to provide guidance to early career chemists. Our definition of a younger chemist is anyone who is beginning their chemistry career. We have no age limits, and welcome all members to utilize the advice of our experienced chemists who can help guide us as early career chemists.
