Hi CJ. Most of your posts are very educational but occasionally you publish nonsense like this that makes me want to unbookmark your website.
As Anon points out, flavor chemistry is a real, legitimate business with real, legitimate chemists. As your website is dedicated to helping chemists find traditional and nontraditional career paths, a bit less cynicism would be appreciated.
Flavor Chem and Food/Beverage Science seem like the long lost crazy uncle of chemistry. And those jobs are insanely difficult to break in to as a MS/PhD chemist.
Hence the sarcasm in my prior post; Most of us who slogged through grad school will have forgotten that Flavors are based in althochdeutschechemie
I'd say the same if it were a textile chemistry position. How many people picked up the Color Index in grad school?
looks like Blogger doesn't work with anonymous comments from Chrome browsers at the moment - works in Microsoft Edge, or from Chrome with a Blogger account - sorry! CJ 3/21/20
Saddam Hussein would beg to differ. Eating Doritos and tending his indoor garden was the highlight of his sunset years in captivity.

"flavor chemistry is a real, legitimate business with real, legitimate chemists."
DeleteI agree 100%. And the article had no flavor chemistry content that I'm aware of. If you think I'm wrong, I'm happy to listen.

Look at the big brain on Anon0916!!!

I hope there's a pumpkin spice version for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteTheir next project should be to make Dr. Pepper flavored Doritos.
What a time to be alive.
