Try doing a search on their engine, using the term "organic" and see what you get back. I have been giving them heat about this for a while. The only response that I've received is to justify this in terms of revenue stream.Generic Chemisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17368825556427261716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-56859184109453968132015-06-20T12:26:57.776-04:002015-06-20T12:26:57.776-04:00Original post writer here - All of what you say is...Original post writer here - All of what you say is true up until the last clause of the last sentence. As the ad says, they are really looking for animal health/livestock industry people. The vast majority of such professionals have some chemistry education (at a minimum food science professionals' non-specialized chemistry education includes some organic and biochemistry), and many even have a bachelor's in chemistry - but usually that's where their connection to the discipline tops out. Especially for D.V.M.s - those three little letters have gotten awfully expensive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-82509891931406823912015-06-20T00:46:46.784-04:002015-06-20T00:46:46.784-04:00There are quite a few people who started out with ...There are quite a few people who started out with chemistry degrees and moved into food science and/or animal science for graduate work. I've been funded through pork board research grants before (as a chemist) and I'd guess 1/3 of the staff there have chem degrees somewhere in their background. And ACS has quite an active Ag/Food division with a lot of mixed chemistry/ag/vet people in it, so it makes complete sense for them to advertise in C&E.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-6287785810335604362015-06-19T18:21:47.861-04:002015-06-19T18:21:47.861-04:00No, I meant like the original WGC.
