That sounds great! Congrats! I remember when Scott and I tried to rescue that old 400 in Gilman, hoping that it might add value. I collected some data on it, but it was a very old instrument.

New 300? That's neat! Is this going to have solids capability or just solution?

First copies of my book are here!! As a new faculty member, I realized that in addition to my research job, I also had a leadership job…and I wasn’t prepared for that.

This book is the guide I wish I’d had then, with the goal of helping others now.

Our lives are surprisingly dependent upon this extremely light and unreactive gas, yet supplies of it are remarkably fragile.
