Here it is: the first mass spectrum that I ever collected, which captivated my young mind and never let go. In the almost decade and a half since, I have dallied with other techniques, but I always return to my first love. #BlackInChem #BlackInAnalytical mass spectrum of ethylene c...
this is from my undergraduate research in David Lynn's lab at @EmoryUniversity where I tested methods to achieve the linear polymerization of simple rings under mild conditions. #BlackInChem #BlackInAnalytical
this project was funded by the now-defunct @HHMINEWS XROP Fellowship, which enabled me to stay in science at a very critical time in my life. i will always be grateful for that support #BlackInChem #BlackInAnalytical

Today wouldn't be #BlackinAnalytical day (a national holiday from my perspective) without me talking about mass spectrometry!
Mass spectrometry is an analytical technique that measures the mass-to-charge ratio of ions.

As a refresher, an ion is an atom or molecule that has a net electric charge due to gaining or losing electrons.
You may hear people say that mass spectrometers (MS) measure mass, but that's not *technically true*. They do, just not directly.
