Iron! It has changed history, it's in the objects we use, and it carries oxygen throughout our body. It's pretty dang cool.

What a weird question but here I come: Carbon. Its capacity to form compounds of great complexity is infinite.

That would have to be strontium. Why... I don't even have a logical reason. I just really like the way it sounds, quite euphonic.

In my case it is (C), because it is everywhere, for me as an atheist, it is the definition of God.

Gallium! It's such a bizarre element and I've always been fascinated by the fact that it just melts in your hand

Facebook question: our organic reach has dropped significantly. Aside from the level of creativity dropping (i e. On the images we've switched from heavier Photoshop type photos to generic designs), is there anything else that we could've missed? Client is asking but we don't see anything else that could be affecting it. We post at similar times every day, and (as per the client's request) we are currently not running paid media. Thank you!

Hey all, having issues with interviewing this year. I’ve been passed over every opportunity I really want and I’m unsure how to regroup and move forward. I’m really trying to break into method development roles and I haven’t had the opportunity to do so with my analytical experience. A lot of my HPLC and LCMS experience is with already established methods. Any tips?
