In a SciX interview, Marc Porter covered a lot of ground, from a student-driven pivot into immunoassays to a baseball analogy for Stokes and anti-Stokes scattering, and shares the open questions he is still chasing.

During SciX 2024, which will be held from October 20–25, 2024 in Raleigh, North Carolina, various analytical scientists will be presented with awards for their career achievements. The American Electrophoresis Society (AES) will present Jason Dwyer of the University of Rhode Island with the Mid-Career Award, honoring his accomplishments thus far in his career.
Jason Dwyer is an associate professor of chemistry at the University of Rhode Island (URI) (1). His main research efforts often focus on nanopore technlogy in addition to spectroscopy. In preparation for SciX, we interviewed Dwyer about his latest research and his thoughts on receiving the Mid-Career Award.
