What Is The Polymerist?
Modern life is dependent on the advances that chemistry has provided, but many of us also know that doing business as usual is unsustainable. Making chemistry suit our needs is relatively easy to do in the lab, but it’s difficult to achieve at scale.
I’m not sure the people who run the chemical industry know 100% why things happen the way they do, but I’m here to try and figure it out, explain what I think is happening, and provide some insights on how to be better.
I am putting out the product that I would personally spend $100/year to get and something that I wish has existed since I was an undergraduate.
This newsletter if for everyone. I’m writing for both me and industry outsiders. If something is confusing let me know. All are welcome.
A Bit About Me
I’ve been a professional chemist since I finished my undergraduate back in 2009 during the great recession and I got to work with a BS in chemistry for a medical device start-up. I realized that the people with PhDs didn’t know that much more than me so I went and got one. I started working with a PhD right after my thesis defense in 2016.
