About 'tuscaloosa jobs'|So let me tell you about my new job








               If               there's               one               thing               I               learned               in               my               scientific               pursuits,               it               is               the               importance               of               careful               measurement               and               analysis,               along               with               strong               math               skills.

This               aspect               of               scientific               training               and               applied               experience               is               valuable               not               only               in               professional               scientific               fields               but               in               every               field,               even               one               with               the               prosaic               job               title               of               "homemaker."
               As               an               undergraduate               chemistry               major,               the               class               I               hated               most               was               analytical               chemistry,               followed               closely               by               calculus.

Me               and               mathematical               accuracy/precision               just               didn't               get               along               at               the               outset.

I               might               even               say               I               was               a               bit               frightened               of               it.

Luckily,               this               changed               (gradually)               when               I               entered               graduate               school               and               then               the               professional               world.

In               my               graduate               lab               and               research               jobs,               I               had               all               day               to               perform               an               experiment,               and               if               something               got               in               the               way,               such               as               a               spill,               a               vacuum               failure               or               water               in               a               sample               that               was               supposed               to               be               dry,               I               had               the               time               to               fix               it.

What's               more,               I               had               the               time               to               run               the               tests               more               than               once               and               to               take               copious               notes               and               make               observations               I               was               too               overwhelmed               to               make               as               an               undergraduate               student.

It               was               an               amazing               realization.

I               became               enamored               of               keeping               long               records               of               procedure               and               I               cut               my               analytical               teeth               on               a               beautiful               new               (to               me!)               tool               called               a               computer               spreadsheet!

With               this               tool,               I               was               able               to               make               sense               of               reams               of               data               that               otherwise               would               have               taken               long               hours               to               chart               and               cross               reference.

Perhaps               my               lab-rat               research               jobs               were               spoiling               me,               but               they               suited               my               personality               quite               nicely.
               Ultracapacitor               Research               and               The               Need               for               Versatility
               In               1993,               I               got               a               job               researching               high-performance               capacitor               technologies               because               of               my               college               experience               with               an               analytical               chemistry               method:               cyclic               voltammetry.

This               helped               me               hone               my               analytical               skills               and               introduced               me               to               a               wider               variety               of               devices               and               materials.

I               basically               learned               to               build               and               test               capacitors               from               the               ground               up.

It               was               valuable               experience,               and               I               also               gained               skills               for               using               multiple               tech               and               computer               platforms,               switching               out               between               DOS,               the               then-brand-new               Windows               and               a               beloved               Macintosh               in               my               personal               office.

It               taught               me               versatility.
               I               learned               to               integrate               materials               research               with               electronic               analytical               methods               in               a               practical               application,               although               it               was               still               in               its               infancy.

The               application               of               my               theoretical               knowledge               in               a               practical               capacity               was               of               immeasurable               value.

Progress               was               slow,               but               every               step               was               documented               and               I               became               aware               of               the               very               real               relationship               between               the               composition               of               devices               with               their               electrical               and               chemical               properties.

And               the               goal               was               clearly               spelled               out,               even               though               it               was               years               away:               maximize               the               power               of               the               double-layer               capacitor               in               as               small               and               efficient               a               package               as               possible.

And,               as               the               research               lab               only               employed               4               people,               it               appealed               to               my               solitary               tendencies               as               well.
               Back               to               College               Labs               and               More               Splendid               Isolation:               Drug               Delivery               Analysis               in               a               Vet               Lab
               For               me,               the               capacitor               research               job               was               an               introduction               to               spreadsheets,               analytical               software,               the               use               of               gas               furnace               sintering               techniques,               meticulous               drying               and               atmospheric               testing               techniques.

Many               of               the               devices               I               had               never               used               before.

It               stood               me               in               good               stead               when               I               was               laid               off               from               that               job               when               the               small               branch               in               Auburn,               Alabama               was               reabsorbed               into               the               main               company               in               San               Diego,               California.

I               procured               a               laboratory               research               technician               job               at               the               university               veterinary               school.

The               problem               at               hand:               analyze               and               optimize               the               delivery               of               a               drug               into               a               decubitus               ulcer               (bedsore)               using               a               specialized               biopolymer               patch               impregnated               with               various               levels               of               drug               and               applied               under               casts               on               greyhound               dogs               for               varying               lengths               of               time.
               This               work               required               a               long               process               of               purification               and               adjustment               of               samples,               also               familiarity               and               assistance               in               careful               taking               of               samples               from               the               dogs               themselves.

It               was               as               close               as               I've               come               to               practicing               veterinary               science,               and               it               pointed               out               to               me               the               great               similarity               between               the               animal               kingdom               and               us               humans.

I               have               to               say               it               also               exposed               me               firsthand               to               the               greater               questions               of               ethical               considerations               when               using               laboratory               animals.

I               witnessed               no               cruelty               in               my               time               there,               but               I               realized               how               important               it               is               not               to               subject               animals               to               more               stress               than               is               necessary.

I               would               often               stroll               around               the               school               at               lunchtime               and               talk               to               the               dogs,               goats,               even               the               cows.

Auburn               is               a               "cow               town"               after               all.
               In               the               lab,               I               learned               a               multitude               of               skills               in               maintaining               and               administering               a               functioning               research               lab.

I               became               familiar               with               even               more               analytical               devices               and               regularly               executed               painstakingly               long               and               complex               sample               preparation               processes,               even               extending               to               the               use               and               accounting               for               radioactive               materials.

I               made               good               use               of               the               relatively               new               World               Wide               Web               and               my               ability               to               learn               just               about               any               operating               system               to               assist               my               research               into               new               methods               and               materials               for               carrying               on               the               research               at               hand.
               Honing               Mathematical               Skills:               Teaching               College               Chemistry
               My               stint               at               the               Auburn               Veterinary               School               ended               when               my               husband               and               I               moved,               first               to               Tuscaloosa               and               then               to               southern               middle               Tennessee.

Short               tenures               in               an               inorganic               research               laboratory,               medical               record-keeping               and               computer               technology               customer               service               diversified               my               experience               yet               further,               and               also               re-integrated               me               with               a               more               people-oriented               workplace.

But               eventually               I               came               back               around               to               my               first               principles:               the               study               of               chemistry.

I               decided               to               take               an               opportunity               offered               to               me               several               years               ago               to               teach               basic               chemistry101               at               a               local               community               college.
               What               I               learned               taught               me               new               respect               for               teachers               everywhere.

You               can               be               the               smartest               person               in               the               world,               but               if               you               can't               communicate               your               knowledge               in               an               accessible               manner,               you're               worse               than               useless               in               a               classroom.

I               experimented               by               trial               and               error               the               means               to               getting               students               to               listen               (also               some               nifty               and               somewhat               destructive               demonstrations).

Some               were               just               too               frightened               to               pick               it               up,               despite               my               efforts               to               be               clear               and               to               put               students               at               their               ease.
               Educating               Others               Brings               New               Insights               and               Revelations
               The               one               specific               aspect               that               struck               me               about               learning               and               teaching               chemistry               was               that               one               must               have               a               strong               backing               of               mathematics,               especially               in               algebra.

I               had               always               considered               myself               merely               average               in               math               skills;               what               I               didn't               realize               is               that               my               long               experience               with               problem               solving               and               diverse               use               of               analytical               techniques               had               honed               my               math               abilities               beyond               what               I               had               believed               myself               to               possess.

I               regret               to               say               that               many               of               my               first               year               students               were               almost               totally               ignorant               of               basic               mathematics,               even               though               my               class               had               a               college               algebra               prerequisite.

Far               from               functioning               as               a               regular               college               chemistry               teacher,               I               was,               of               necessity,               becoming               a               basic               math               teacher.

In               a               nutshell,               this               reliance               on               math               and               analytical               skills               is               emblematic               of               my               lifelong               experiences               working               in               scientific               fields.

It               is               the               basis               of               understanding               the               sciences,               the               "language               of               science,"               and               I               never               cease               to               respect               its               power.
               I               came               to               the               realization               that               it               was               the               fear               of               math,               not               the               fear               of               chemistry               that               seemed               to               drag               many               students               down.

Once               the               math               is               understood,               the               nature               of               chemistry               can               be               easily               learned.

This               teaching               experience               also               made               me               very               much               aware               of               the               need               for               children               to               have               a               solid               primary               and               secondary               education.

Many               of               my               students               had               obviously               been               passed               on               to               higher               grades               without               mastering               basic               skills               such               as               multiplication               and               division.
               My               diverse               career               progressions               have               shown               me               the               paramount               importance               of               mathematical               and               analytical               skills               in               a               variety               of               fields               both               related               and               unrelated               to               the               chemical               sciences.

Even               if               you're               not               a               storehouse               of               esoteric               information,               you               can               make               the               grade               by               honing               your               basic               symbolic               problem-solving               skills.

I               try               to               apply               this               concept               in               solving               a               number               of               the               problems               of               everyday               life.

Maintaining               these               basic               problem-solving               skills               I               learned               in               my               professional               pursuits               is               important;               especially               should               I               once               again               decide               to               pursue               a               job               in               my               primary               field.

But               even               in               my               current               incarnation               as               a               housewife,               I               find               this               analytical               tendency               helps               me               in               even               the               most               down-to-earth               situations               like               fixing               a               broken               dryer               or               upgrading               my               laptop.
