Blog 3: Interview Preparation

1.  I plan to ask Ted Crutchfield, my grandfather. He graduated with a a degree in chemistry, and is currently works as a substitute chemistry teacher. He worked in research and development for the beginning of his career, and his legacy is that he created the first home pregnancy test. He is the first person that got me interested in chemistry so I believe that he would be the perfect person to help me start my research.
