Brought the lab to visit collaborators at NASA Goddard yesterday before #ASMS2025 and we got to watch the building the Nancy Grace Roman wide-field telescope — lucky timing!

Just acquired the highest resolution mass spectrum in the history of College of Charleston! Thanks to the proteomics lab at NYU for donating the Orbi Elite.
Excited for the quality and variety of MS instrumentation we have for undergraduate research and teaching #chemsky #teammassspec

Our dog Hazel often goes to the front window and barks when we eat dinner “to protect us” with the hope that we give her some.
Today, she acted like there was a mouse in our adjacent laundry room so I got up quickly from the table. She went straight to the table and stole my food.
Clever girl.
