chemist
Let an agent explain what chemists do and how to become one, support finding chemists and services, describe specialisms, and separate the pharmacy sense.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain what chemists do and how to become one, support finding chemists and services, describe specialisms, and separate the pharmacy sense.
A scientist trained in chemistry who studies the composition, structure, properties and reactions of matter, working in research, industry, health, environment and education, with specialisms such as biochemistry, geochemistry, chemometrics and chemical biology; in British usage the word also denotes a pharmacist or pharmacy.
What it is for: Chemical science and its applications.
It can be explain chemist roles and specialisms; find education and career paths; find professional bodies and registration; separate the pharmacy sense.
