How has being a Chemistry graduate from Duke helped shape you personally and/or professionally?

"Allowed me to explore my diverse interests and directly led to my position in this niche area of chemistry."

What advice would you give students in Duke's Chemistry programs? 

"Be sure to advocate for what you want out of your degree. International experience, then say so. Industrial experience, just say so. Interdisciplinary experience, let the faculty know!"
