Amanda Hummon
Associate Professor, The Ohio State University, USA.
Research goal: My group uses MS to explore the colon cancer proteome and phosphoproteome. We are developing imaging MS approaches to examine molecular distributions in spheroids.
Best advice received: Early in my career, Norman Dovichi warned me that dealing with the rejection and criticism inherent to the work can be tough. After a proposal rejection, he said to me: “Be like a duck, let it roll off your back.” With that in mind, I try not to take criticism personally, but use it as a way to improve my science instead.
