If you’re wondering what on earth MALDI MSI is, you’re not alone. We were right there with you. On this podcast episode, Roxanne interviews Dr. Elizabeth Neumann of UC Davis, who uses matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging in her research to identify neurological disease elements without causing disorder in the sample. We also talk about starting a lab from scratch (sort of), and how to get what you want as someone in academia. We hope you enjoy!
