If you’re wondering what on earth MALDI MSI is, you’re not alone. We were right there with you. On this week's episode of the ChemTalk podcast, host Roxanne Salkeld interviews Dr. Elizabeth Neumann,  Assistant Professor of Chemistry at UC Davis. Dr. Elizabeth Neumann's research revolves around the use of MALDI MSI (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging) to identify neurological disease elements without causing disorder in the sample. We also talk about starting a lab from scratch (sort of), and how to get what you want as someone in academia. We hope you enjoy! If you would like to know more about Dr. Elizabeth Neumann you can check out her research, Twitter, or reach her by email at [email protected].
