Comments:
This is not a field job or a research job. It is
a desk job and requires concentration. I am 
exposed to current scientific research in all
areas of chemistry which is exciting.
Besides a science degree, realted skills such as
familiarity with computers and databases, 
writing skills, team skills, and foreign language
skills are important. Researchers all over the
world in both academia and business rely on our
databases, to which I contribute.
