Let's go ahead and admit it: humans are clever. Our ability to create things to make our lives more efficient seems to increase exponentially every year. We're pretty amazing. Take a second and pat yourself on the back, on behalf of all of us.

With such rapid innovation, however, we humans sometimes forget to think in the long term. The ever-expanding search for new types of fuel, more efficient ways to grow crops, and stronger building materials demands some serious risk management. 

That's where you come in. You provide the necessary tests to ensure that chemical development, use, and disposal happens in the least damaging way possible.

After all, with the planet expected to reach eleven billion people by 2050 (source). There will be a lot more brilliant minds developing inventive chemicals to help our planet keep growing and thriving.

So don't pack up those test tubes any time soon; not only will your job be more important over the next twenty years, but you'll be busier than ever. We need you to preserve and protect the generations to come. The tech might change, but the chance that it could kill us all if it got into the water supply won't.
