Some chemists study organic matter, which makes up living things. Others study matter that makes up nonliving things. And others study how matter changes and interacts with other matter. Women work in all these fields of chemistry. People who are attracted to careers in science typically have questions about the world they want to answer, and they find that using the scientific method is a good way to answer them. They like coming up with uncertainties about our world, then researching and possibly answering those questions. Careers in science just make sense for those who tend to think scientifically.

Many chemists work in the pharmaceutical industry.
