Overview:

As I spent my days researching away in the chemistry labs here at CSU over 20 years ago, little did I imagine the possibilities that awaited me working at Procter and Gamble.  Through my graduate experience, I could envision a future as an academic researcher or even as a scientist at a National Laboratory.  I had little to no idea what to expect as a researcher in industry.  At this session, I will share an overview of R&D at P&G, give some examples of the types of work researchers do and provide time for Q&A conversation.
