M-CLASS Presents at AbSciCon

This week, three members of the M-CLASS lab, as well as many collaborators, presented at AbSciCon in Providence, RI. Find their abstracts below!

Luke - "High Resolution Laser Desorption Mass Spectrometry of a Precambrian Lacustrine Stromatolite"

Maddy - "Mineralogical Effects on Organic Detection via Laser Desorption Mass Spectrometry" Rick - "Quantitative Isotopic Measurements via LDMS for Planetary Science: Challenges, Progress, and Outlook" - electronic poster

Luke selected to receive NASA FINESST grant!

His proposal to investigate refractory organics in 1-2.7 billion year old stromatolites utilizing commercial and spaceflight laser desorption mass spectrometry instruments was selected for a NASA FINESST award which is a research grant for three years and $150,000 total.
