The Coblentz Society will offer a Speed Mentoring event at the Eastern Analytical Symposium (EAS) on Monday, November 18, at 11:45 in the third floor mezzanine.
The event promises to be fun and fast-paced, in a one-on-one setting. Prospective mentors and mentees will have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with other scientists, expand their professional networks, and potentially form a mentoring relationship.
Mentors and mentees must sign up for the session in advance. Lunch will be provided for those who preregister. Professionals with various technical disciplines from various industries, academia, and government laboratories are encouraged to sign up as mentors. Graduate students and young professionals who are interested in learning more about working in the various areas of chemistry also need to sign up.
The session will start with a quick lunch and explanation of the process. Mentors and mentees will take seats facing one another. Mentors will then introduce themselves, and provide their specialty (FT-IR, NMR, and so on), their industry, and information about key job opportunities. Next, mentees will disclose their university affiliation, thesis area, and will then have an opportunity to ask questions.
A five-minute discussion between mentor and mentee will ensue, enabling mentees to learn about possible career avenues. When the five minutes are up, mentees will rotate a seat, and the process will start up again.
Speed mentoring is designed to encourage an ongoing mentoring relationship session, if that is of interest, and to be a networking opportunity for job hunting or just getting a better understanding of life in various industries, government laboratories, or academic institutions. It is also a way for chemists to give back to the community by sharing their services.

EAS 2019 takes place November 18–20 at the Crowne Place Princeton Conference Center, in Plainsboro, New Jersey.
Getting accurate IR spectra on monolayer of molecules
April 18th 2024Creating uniform and repeatable monolayers is incredibly important for both scientific pursuits as well as the manufacturing of products in semiconductor, biotechnology, and. other industries. However, measuring monolayers and functionalized surfaces directly is. difficult, and many rely on a variety of characterization techniques that when used together can provide some degree of confidence. By combining non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM) and IR spectroscopy, IR PiFM provides sensitive and accurate analysis of sub-monolayer of molecules without the concern of tip-sample cross contamination. Dr. Sung Park, Molecular Vista, joined Spectroscopy to provide insights on how IR PiFM can acquire IR signature of monolayer films due to its unique implementation.
Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy Reveals Influence of Defects on 2D Semiconductor Devices
April 25th 2024A recent study used deep level transient spectroscopy to investigate the electrical response of defect filling and emission in monolayer metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD)-grown materials deposited on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible substrates.
Single Cell and Microplastic Analysis by ICP-MS with Automated Micro-Flow Sample Introduction
April 25th 2024Single cell ICP-MS (scICP-MS) is increasingly seen as a powerful and fast tool for the measurement of elements in individual cells, mainly due to the high sensitivity and selectivity of ICP-MS. Analysis is performed in the same way as single nanoparticle (spICP-MS) analysis, which has become a well-established technique for the analysis of nanoparticles and particles.
