From other comments it sounds like its an initial call. Something to think about is how your background in being a chemist can relate to software. Do you see similarities with how things are structured chemically and how you build programs? Are there analysis and debugging skills that can help you as a programmer? I'll also assume there is a fair amount of statistics used in the sciences which is helpful when working with applications that have decent traffic. Good Luck!
