Very often, the choice of a career is influenced by the teachers we encounter during our school years. This can be very important for young women who may be interested in math and science. Having a successful woman chemistry teacher who can be a role model and a mentor can often encourage a young woman to consider chemistry as a career goal. However, sometimes starting out in another field also leads to a successful career in chemistry. I have chosen three such women, at different levels of the education system, to profile for this poster. I sent each a list of questions concerning their work, upcoming projects, and honors. Following are their responses.
