FromTheChair

Deborah E.Kilmartin

For the past two summers, I often passeda small appliance store that advertised “ACSin stock.” While I knew they meant airconditioners, I would daydream about havingenough American Chemical Society volun-teers to run the programs I knew the sectionneeded, such as career services, public rela-tions, public outreach, etc. I imagined seniorchemists with an active senior silver circlewhere they’d met three or four times a yearfor lunch or dinner, maybe do outreach atlocal Ys, and perhaps run a cruise to Alaskathat the rest of us could either join or justenvy. I would daydream on how much goodthis would do for them, and the children theymight wow with recounting their careers.

I would then worry about our youngerchemists—were they getting the jobs theywanted, did they need resume help, weretheir lives fulfilling or just a constant roundof ever more boring jobs? Were they gettingmentoring like I did in my career? I worriedabout the current scientist pipeline shortage,and would dream that at least 1 out of 10 ofthe kids I visit each year would be drawn intothe sciences, looking for the joy I have foundin being a chemist.

The sign is down now until next summer,and I sit here in the cold weather wonderingif I would have the same dreams next summer,or would I see the start of people takingcharge of their lives and careers and theirretirement? I do hope so. Remember, toenhance your career at any stage, volunteer!The Philadelphia section can help you todevelop the skills for your next position tobe the ideal one, even if it’s just a happyretirement or fun in college or a first, second,or third career in science teaching. Rememberthat most great scientists are made—by greatteachers.

To start the year off, this January we arehaving a concurrent undergrad/graduateposter session with cash prizes AND acareer workshop to help those entering or re-entering the chemical fields to polish theirinterviewing tools. For more information oneither of these programs, contact Mrs. LibbyHarper at 215-382-1589 or philaacs@aol.com.

I have an ambitious program this year, butto make it work, I need you. For a completelisting of volunteer opportunities, contactme at PhilaACSchair@aol.com or Mrs. LibbyHarper at the information above.

Remember—Enhance Your Career,Volunteer!

INTRODUCING OUR NEW CHAIRDeborah E. Kilmartin

Deborah E. Kilmartin was born in Darby,PA located near the Philadelphia InternationalAirport. A local girl, Deb grew up, went toschool, and currently lives less than 2 milesfrom the place she was born. She graduatedfrom Sharon Hill High School (now AcademyPark) in 1973, Delaware County CommunityCollege in 1975 with an associate’s degree inNatural Science with a chemistry major anda French minor. She took a year and a halfbreak from college to earn enough money tocontinue and then attended West ChesterState College (now West Chester University).She was active in the biology club (DarlingtonBiological Society) and the chemistry club(Alchemists’ Club) there as well as workingvarious jobs, including work-study with thebiology department and as a packer at BullenChemical Company packaging soaps, waxes,and detergents while taking a full course load.

Deb unknowingly began her career inEnvironmental Chemistry during her senioryear by interning at the local health departmenttesting well water. Her plan to continue hereducation and working in a health field wasderailed when her mother was diagnosedwith terminal pancreatic cancer. Debcompleted her internship in June and wentback to the chemical factory to work. When

a laboratory technician position becameavailable at the local sewage authority,DELCORA, she interviewed for it and washired. She found she had the job on the sameday she was told her mother was untreatable.Her mother passed away in November 1979.

She took plant operator’s training but wasunable to become licensed because she “onlyworked in the laboratory.” Deb leftDELCORA for a position as the plantchemist for Chem-Clear, Inc., a hazardouswaste pretreatment facility under RCRA forabout four and a half years. She then workedfor AGES laboratories as a chemist for abouttwo years. These last two companies wentout of business after she left them. Debworked for Drexel University for about ayear as a laboratory technician while pursuinga graduate degree in environmental chemistry,and then for about a year as a research tech-nician doing atmospheric research in Hawaiiand Colorado with Drs. Alan Bandy andDonald Thornton. This is where her traveladventures began. It was here that she shareda condo with a graduate student and a snakethat dropped in one weekend. Deb and theother researchers flew over Four Points andLake Powell in Southwestern US and theerupting volcano in Hawaii, which isspectacular at night. They worked out of aNOAA station and toured the “scientistsonly” areas of the volcano observatory inHawaii. She then transferred to the Healthand Safety Department of Drexel and receivedher certification as a Hazardous MaterialsManager (CHMM) in 1989.

From there, Deborah worked as a chemistfor a contractor to EPA’s Superfund Program,called Halliburton NUS, which becameBrown and Root Environmental, then Brownand Root Environmental Company, and afew other names and now is called TetraTechNUS. The office developed a mobilelaboratory, and now she really began totravel, first locally in EPA’s Region III (PA,DE, WV, VA, and DC) and later around thecountry doing field chemistry. This was thework she loved best, with all sorts ofadventures, including more snakes, getting

shot at once and threatened several times onseveral military bases, working out of atrailer during hurricanes, and naked men. Itwas during this time that she threatened towrite her (probable) best seller (if titles sellit), called “Snakes I Have Known and OtherNaked Men Stories” based on theseadventures. She is currently working on amystery novel called, “EnvironmentalImpact.” After years of technical writing,Deb’s only problem is figuring out whysomeone would want to kill another personwhen punching him or her in the nose isusually enough to reduce stress.

Deb left that company to take a temporaryposition at the Philadelphia office of the USArmy Corps of Engineers, followed by aposition at Environmental Standards, Inc.Deborah left that company due to healthproblems and graduated to a career ofchemistry consulting for former companies.She was hired by GeoTrans, Inc. in 2001part-time and then by the Malvern RetreatHouse as a sacristan in 2005, also part-time.She currently volunteers for the PhiladelphiaSection doing “Chemist in the Classroom”and the monthly program at St. Christopher’sHospital for Children. Because she enjoysmaking PVA slime with children, her familyand kids all over often call her “AuntieSlime.” She has volunteered for RSVP doingenvironmental talks and programs, NationalOvarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC), thePhiladelphia Carcinoid Cancer SupportGroup, and others. She enjoys sleeping,reading, more sleeping, doing chemicalpresentations and chemical consulting,stained glass, and sewing, pretty much inthat order.
