TAKE OUR POLL! Our latest poll is timely, considering many of us will be dressing up as different personas for Halloween this week. 🎃 Figuratively, cosmetic chemists are always donning new personas and wearing more than safety glasses in the lab. 👩🔬 They wear many hats, including that of a: 🕵♀️ Detective, to eye product samples for signs of instabilities; 👷♂️ Process engineer, calculating and measuring the dynamics of scale-up; and 🔮 Fortune teller, predicting whether the sensory properties of products will meet the needs of consumers.

Please take our poll!
