A future in mass spectrometry

This week we are inspired by the discovery of the chemical origins of the Bombardier beetle using mass spectrometry. We learn how too much of a good thing could become a bad thing, we get inspired by the remarkable discovery made by Dr. Athula Attygalle, we reveal how specializing can actually broaden your career options, and unveil three tips you have likely never considered (but should) when preparing for a virtual interview.
