Many career opportunities for chemists can be found beyond the laboratory and the classroom. This talk will focus on careers in science policy in the government and nonprofit sectors. Examples will be drawn from the speaker's personal experience and will also highlight the enhanced career opportunities that can be provided by the ACS Public Policy Fellowships. The talk will also provide guidance on what background is needed to pursue these nontraditional career paths.
