John
writes .....I did undergrad research with Andreas Mayr
...... After Stony Brook, I went to Tulane University
for grad school, and I got my Ph.D. in organic chemistry.....
After grad school I went to law school, and I'm now
a patent attorney at AstraZeneca near Boston. It keeps
me busy and can be somewhat stressful at times, but
it's nonetheless enjoyable...... in fact, there are
a lot of Stony Brook chemistry alumnae among the scientists
here at AZ.
I get back to Long Island occasionally, but it's been
ages since I've visited the campus (and with one daughter
and another on the way I suspect it will be quite some
time before I get time for a visit).

[Pamela
is Associate Professor of Chemistry at SUNY
New Paltz]. She writes .......
After graduating from UCLA I spent 2 years at Cornell
University in Applied and Engineering Phyiscs where
I was a post-doctoral researcher. From there, I moved
back to California and worked for a biotechnology company
for 6 1/2 years where I interviewed off and on for academic
positions. I finally found what I was looking for when
I interviewed at New Paltz and so here I am. I have
a number of undergraduate students doing research with
me and .....I love my work.
