He also served as the Reference Librarian for the Sciences and Engineering at Virginia Commonwealth University, and completed academic science library internships at MIT and Brown University.
Peter has a PhD in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Cincinnati, a MLIS from the University of Rhode Island, a MS in Agronomy/Soil Science from Cornell University, and a BS in Chemistry from the University of Miami.
