From Scientist to Software Developer with Blithe Rocher: Blithe Rocher graduated from a PhD in Physical Chemistry and went from being a Scientist to a Software Developer. In this episode we talk about this career switch and the steps she took to get immersed in the field. I liked this conversation a lot because I think these aspects also apply to people that are already working in the tech industry and they are looking at working in a different area of technology. We also talked about her work on APIs for the Hilary Clinton campaign website among other interesting projects. by The Women in Tech Show: A Technical Podcast
