"Fluorescent Chemistry: The Work Experiences of
a Muskingum Graduate"
Abstract:
Have you ever wondered what you are going to do with your science degree from Muskingum University? Do you really need to understand the premise of the Solubility Rules? Will you always be in a lab working at your bench or hood? Do you really need to know the differences between in vitro and in vivo?
The answer to these questions will likely be, “Yes, no, and maybe!”
One of the biggest questions you will have as you approach your graduation from Muskingum is what your career may be like after you graduate. The best way for me to offer a glimpse of what you may expect is to walk you through some of my more memorable experiences as a Ph.D. chemist at DayGlo Color Corporation in Cleveland, Ohio.
We will start with the pressure cooker project that started my career at DayGlo. We will then continue through the day—day odysseys that fill the day of a fluorescent color company. (Yes, I said “odyssey). Finally, we will finish with the road-block-filled endeavor with the United States Food and Drug Administration that lead to a brand new market place for DayGlo and a whole new skill set for yours truly.
After this presentation, I hope that as undergraduate students you will see that your career in science will be filled with rewarding success, mind-enhancing challenges, and growth-filled failures. Most of all, however, you will see that if you have picked the right field, you will enjoy your work! What could be more important than that?
