My First Week of Bootcamp
Aug 24, 2016
I was an analytical chemist (think CSI for printers) for almost nine years. I enjoyed some aspects, but felt under-challenged by others. While I enjoyed solving problems, repairing instruments, and teaching colleagues, I enjoyed creative and innovative ventures even more.
