Using Raman spectroscopy to track hyaluronic acid permeation in skin

The Morphologi G3-ID enables simultaneous physical and chemical characterization of particle samples, enabling outlier particles to be identified as being part of a product formulation or genuine foreign particle contaminants.

The ideal solvent for a material may not provide a sufficient refractive index difference for light scattering detection. This example of a biodegradable polymer shows how SELS is used to increase dn/dc to give enhanced detection sensitivity

It’s important to have women role models as a woman scientist, but men can be fantastic and supportive role models to women as well

Sharing examples of successful female researchers with young people will help to encourage more women to pursue science as a career

Sexism isn’t necessarily about bad people; it’s about bad judgments that are based on a cultural lack of understanding

If you find you’re not in a supportive environment with the specific people that you work with, find another one

Women who are already in STEM careers simply need to be more visible

Keep your eyes and ears open, because a lot of discrimination is subtle.

Is (analytical) science still sexist? Six chemists contemplate the ‘glass ceiling’ for women in science: does it exist and if so, can it be broken?
