We all know that data is powerful, but are you maximizing your data?  Our very own Jesse Harris recently attended ACS Fall 2023, where the theme this year was “Harnessing the Power of Data”. Not only did he present, but he also conducted a survey to gather intel about the use of chemical software. Speaking with a variety of backgrounds, Jesse delved into details about analytical data processing software uses and challenges.  This conversation with Jesse lets us dive a little deeper into the responses to his survey and discusses some data handling highlights from ACS. FAIR Data principles article: https://www.nature.com/articles/sdata201618Brought to you by ACD/Labs: www.acdlabs.com
