Abstract

Chemistry instructors see many faces and have a great opportunity to help students learn chemistry and see our subject’s great beauty. But what face do we chemists expose to these students? Too often it is a narrow, skeletal, enigmatic one that does not begin to encompass the diversity of chemists whose careers are described in these career profiles. We can do a lot better.
