Andrew Zipkin is an analytical chemist at Eurofins EAG Laboratories and President Elect of The Society for Archaeological Sciences. If you had asked him if he would have a career as an archaeologist and chemist when he graduated from Southside High School in Rockville Centre, NY in 2005, I am certain he would have thought that an impossibility (he was planning on pre-med at the time). But his education and career journey took him in unexpected directions. In this episode of Teacher Talks, Andrew takes us down the winding path to his current profession with his former teacher Mr. Kurtz
