Exciting recent advance: My group’s first nanomaterial design project for agricultural applications is coming to fruition (literally)! We’ve been designing nanoparticles to controllably transform and release nutrients that promote healthy crop growth following uptake by a plant.
Best part of the job: You’re only limited by how widely you read and your imagination. Analytical chemists can impact a wide range of fields, because being able to measure something means that you can make progress towards understanding it.
