The filament of the GC-MS ion source needs to be replaced (after only 2 months). While a colleague of mine is sorting out the details, I am busy with other things.
I have given a talk at the McGill Environmental Research Symposium and I found it to be an excellent meeting. Short talks from people with very different backgrounds (science, philosophy, education) highlighted the variety of environmental research done at McGill.
I have had very interesting discussions with several people focusing on sampling opportunities in the Arctic and possibilities for modeling the movements of particles in snow. I am currently following up on some of these issues.
