Meet Erin Baker

Instrument you couldn’t live without? I definitely could not have lived without an IMS-MS platform. Seeing both structure and mass measurements simultaneously has opened my eyes to so many new molecules and has really helped us determine confidence in our identifications.

Advice? Patience, persistence, a thick-skin and a collaborative spirit are all fundamental in succeeding as a 21st century scientist. These attributes are all necessary to rise above the failures and criticism that are such a huge part of our daily lives, and also address the extremely complex scientific problems affecting us, including the pandemic, environmental pollution, and climate change.
