Chemists study the unique link between the biological and physical sciences, and spur advances in the areas of medicine, agriculture, food processing, and industry. Chemical research has led to the discovery and development of new and improved synthetic fibres, paints, adhesives, drugs, cosmetics, electronic components, lubricants, and many other products, as well as processes that save energy and reduce pollution, such as improved oil refining and petrochemical processing methods. These are only a few of the areas of research and application open to persons with a degree in chemistry.
