Chemist Scientist Career Guide and Counseling

Question: If you are a scientist or chemist 15 years from and you want to invent something, what would it be? Give the importance of your invention and its effects of there is any.

Answer: Lets see we are in the medicine catogory so I would like to figure out how to better the technology while at the same time reduce cost for prosthetics. My main reason behind this is for our veterans. They deserve nothing but the best.

Question: please differentiate the chemist and the scientist? pls help me.. i am so confused.. i must choose my career because i am a graduating student.. help please?

Answer: Chemistry is one of many sciences. Quite specific. In UK, I believe it could also be a pharmacist, but I'm not certain. A scientist could practice any one or more of the sciences.

Question: If you'll have the chance to be a great scientist or a chemist, what will you invent? In your own words, describe why will you make that invention that hasn't been created by anyone else. Be unique!

Answer: I would invent a machine that records our dream images and sounds, in other words, all visual and verbal data. It would be amazing to see how our mind works while we are asleep. In some cases, while we are asleep our mind processes information about our lives and then uses dreams as a way of sorting things out. The knowledge that we could gain about ourselves and the opportunities of how to better understand our life's situations would, to me, be extremely beneficial to our existence....It would give a whole new meaning to Dream Interpretation, dont you think? : ) Have a great day!

Question: give me 10 foreign scientist/ chemist and their contribution?

Answer: 1)Danish physicist Neils Bohr's contributions to science: Developed the Bohr model of the atom. Developed the correspondence principle, the basic tool of Old quantum theory. 2)English physicist Isaac Newton's contributions to science: Developed calculus. Developed theory of universal gravitation. 3)French chemist Louis Pasteur's contributions to science: Developed pasteurization. Found cures for chicken cholera, anthrax and rabies. 4)English physicist and chemist Michael Faraday's contributions to science: Built the first electric motor. He later built the first generator and transformer.

Developed theory of the chemical reactivity of oxygen. Coauthored the modern system for naming chemical substances

Question: who makes more, Organic chemist or Environmental Scientist?

Answer: it depends on specialisation. organic chemist would probably make more normally. However a contaminated land expert or hydrogeologist can make nearly $200k a year.

Question: Who is the African American scientist that was both a noted botanist and chemist? A. Carver B. Abbot C.Lamarck D. Archimedes E. Bell

Answer: i am

Question: Question about scientist/chemist Dobereiner and triads, read further? What conclusions do you think Dobereiner would have made if he had tried to compare F,Cl, & Br as a triad instead of Cl, Br, and I? Using the modern periodic table , explain why F,Cl, & Br would not have fit his scheme. Would he have found P, As, and Sb to be a triad? What about As, Sb, and Bi> Explain your answers

Answer: Dobereiner's triads were groups of three elements with similar properties. When he took the weights of the lightest and heaviest of these three elements they averaged to equal the weight of the middle element. When you average the weights of F and Br you do not get the weight of Cl. Therefore he would not have thought they were related at all. In order to fit in his triads they must meet both of his criteria: similar properties and !st & 3rd weights average to equal the middle weight.

Question: who do you think is the most influential scientist or chemist,and why?

Answer: Dr. Emmett Brown. His ground-breaking work with flux capacitance laid the foundation for time travel.

He has been looking for a F/T job since he got his first and only job (that McDonald's job) at age 24.

Answer: Doesn't matter about the occupation. Be with the one that's good to you and makes you laugh.

Question: From a Scientist, Doctor, Chemist, etc. Ionized Water. . .? Does it work? How? Is it dangerous for anyone? If it does work how would people with Crohns, RA, Digestion Problems due to removal of Gall Bladder, Bi-Polar, Diabetes, Congenital Heart Defects, and Depression be affected? I know people with these problems and we are trying to decide if this Ionized Water is myth or fact. A classmate in my EMT class swears by the stuff. Plus I love Science in general and would like to know how this actually works, if it does.

Answer: Read this article. It answers all your questions better than I would, and faster. You can always find someone who will swear by the stuff! http://www.chem1.com/CQ/ionbunk.html

Question: scientist and chemist !!! i need help for a project !.? i'm making a project on ethanol fuel , me and my group is trying to find a enzyme that makes the breakdown of corn, sugar cane , ETC.. we know protease is one of the enzymes but we want osme others instead of that one also we need some co-enyzmes . i just need any co-enzyme name .

Answer: Protease(s) will only break down proteins, but wont react with the starch in corn or sugar from sugar cane. Conversion of starch and suager to ethanol is actually a very complicated process involving many steps and several different enzymes. Amylase is an enzyme used to convert starch in corn into fermentable sugars. Organisms such as yeast can then ferment the sugars to form ethanol, via a series of enzyme catalysed reactions called glycolysis. co-enzymes involved are adenosine di-phosphate (ADP) and NAD+ and NADH under anaerobic conditions NADH is recycled back to NAD+ by converting pyruvate to acetaldehyde and CO2. Acetaldehyde is then converted to ethanol. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycolysis for the enzymes involved and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaerobic_respiration

Question: Is there a scientist who builds robots if so what is the profession called? I want to know the exact name like chemist but for a robotic scientist and if you can i need the answer really fast. If you are wondering why it is because i have a project that i have to pick a profession and i really want to pic this one.

Answer: robotic engineer

Question: What are the positives and negatives of being an scientist? I.e. Being a physicist, Chemist, Geneticist. I just want to know because becoming a scientist is something I'm considering as a career.

Answer: That is very subjective. What you love I may hate. Only you can answer that question. No one here can answer that for you beyond the obvious like the jobs are in demand and the earning potential is enormous. Other than that only you can define the pros and cons. See what I mean you have idiots saying you will be poor. Aparrently they have no idea what any of those big words mean. Just choose the discipline that involves doing a lot of something you enjoy. All involve math but if you dont like life sciences like biology and physiology obviously a geneticist is not for you. There are tons of areas of expertise for physicist. Pick a couple that may interest you then go on-line and research them. Remenber once you lay down a good foundation in math and sciences you can alsways find an intership in a discipline that interest you. Try it for a semester or two while you are still in school working toward your degree. Hit the math and sciences hard and you can maintain lots of flexibility to change your concentration at anytime without loosing credits. Let me explain. If you take thermodynamics and pressure for an elective while another student takes art for the easy credit you may be able to use that credit toward a degree in nuclear physics if you choose to change from fractal geometry while if your counter part wants to switch to nuclear physics they are behind because they were lazy and took a nothing class like art while you took a class that is a dgree requirement for on of the 5 disciplines you are interested in. Bottom line Dont take the path of least resistance when selecting classes. Choose ones that will count to your back up major if you decide to change. Second look into internships ASAP. You may get lucky and find one as a freshman. It would probably be stuff like gopher work and cleaning lab equipment or recording research data but at least you will get exposure. Good luck and I commend you for such high aspirations. I sure you will be succefull in whatever discipline you choose.

Question: What's a good epitaph for the dead scientist, Robert Boyle? I have a project due tomorrow, and we're making headstones of dead scientist. On the headstone I have to put an epitaph. What's a good epitaph for Robert Boyle? What's a good epitaph for any dead chemist?

Answer: Old chemists never die, they just fail to react.

Question: Is docter smarter than biologist, chemist and physicist? I had compare the salary range of these careers, physicist got 80,000 average salary, chemist got 65,000 average salary, biologist get 60,000 salary and doctor gets 120,000 average salary. So why do doctor gets more salary than the others? Does that mean that doctors are more smarter than scientist in general? If not, could you tell me the who is the smartest around these careers?

Answer: Of course it doesn't mean that! I've known some pretty stupid doctors in my time! I think it's probably a matter of which jobs are more in demand (and at $120K, I'd say that Doctors are pretty high-demand professions....EVERYONE needs a doctor). There is no standardization for "smart." There are brilliant doctors and there are doctors who are complete idiots. There are physicists who have found new stars and ways to defy gravity and there are physicists who aren't fit to teach high school. There are biologists with the potential to find the cure for cancer or AIDS, and there are biologists whom I wouldn't allow in the same room with my hamster. Its all a matter of the PERSON. There are going to be smarter and dumber people in EVERY profession.

Question: How much money does a scientist make? A writer? I am looking for number. I know it varies and all that but just estimates. From the most types of scientists you can think of to a writer. Those are my top two careers and I want to know how much they make. Forensic Biologist Archaeologist Paleontologist Chemist Geologist Physicists Astronomers And Writers ???????

Answer: http://www.salary.com will tell you how much each of those professions make in your area. Forensic scientists usually have a masters degree (6 years of college), all the other scientists have a PhD (8-12 years of college) and writers don't need a degree at all but not many can live on writing alone. After spending 6+ years in graduate school, 40k sounds like a lot (most of those scientists will make upwards of 60k a year).
