Meet Caroline West

Calling: “As a student, I was interested in forensics – a job that had the attraction of mystery to me. I only knew that analytical chemistry was one way to get there.”

Regret: “Probably not. I took the opportunities that offered themselves.”

Emphasis: “Chromatography with carbon dioxide-based mobile phases (SFC) is still keeping me very busy. There is so much more to learn!”

Hope: “I like exploring the frontiers, particularly those that I am being told are impassable. Thus the polarity limits of SFC, especially towards biomolecules, are of interest to me.”

Advice: “First: hard work! Second: forget about copy & paste – find your own way.”
