Benjamin F. Scott achieved many notable degrees, but his graduate degree from the University of Chicago was achieved after his involvement in the Manhattan Project and the creation of the atomic bomb, meaning he was still a student during this time.

After The Manhattan Project, Scott held numerous notable positions. One of them being subcontractor and manufacturer of Geiger counters, instruments that are used to detect radiation, from 1946-1950 (insert AIP source citation). Scott then worked as a Radiochemist and later Chief Chemist for the Nuclear Instrument Company (which was renamed to the Nuclear-Chicago Corporation) from 1949 to 1963. In 1963, Scott began working as a Technical Director for the New England Nuclear (NEN) Assay Corporation (Boston, MA). During his time there, he co-authored an article in the peer-reviewed journal Analytical Chemistry, which is a top-tier journal in the chemistry field. In addition, Scott published his research efforts in the Journal of Radioanalytical Chemistry and several reports published by the Atomic Energy Commission in 1952, 1959, and 1961 focusing on radiometric methods and emission by uranium-235 (insert AIP citation.) Uranium-235 is used as a primary element used to power nuclear reactions and embodies many chemical structures.
